Application Of The Position Of Engagement

On the very first day, I was overwhelmed and excited because I was going to learn from two great mentors. I was also excited to share my previous practicing leadership skills with other group members although I have greatly sharpened my leadership skills according to the framework provided by the facilitators on the first day. I had been provided different opportunities to demonstrate the leadership skills in my professional and personal life and I fulfilled the criteria according to that situation however, this course highlighted some gaps, which needs to be addressed in my future implications.

The need for higher education has prompted many students to seek further studies in international colleges outside their countries and Australia has become an academic hub for international students who mostly come from developing nations in Asia and Africa. The students, once they secure a place in this schools, they are subjected to a new environment which comes with different challenges. International students in Australia have become an integral part of the society both social and economical. However the students face a myriad of challenges before fully adopting to the new learning culture. In

I believe that Australian students do not realize to a full extent how difficult it can be for those coming from different cultural environment. One of the symptoms Oberg described was a sense of loss. Conversation with Ben demonstrated that this is one of the first confusion an international student goes through – the world he used to live in and felt comfortable is no longer the same and there is no one to guide him. No wonder that at the beginning the majority feels depressed. The universities do not analyze social aspect of the international students’ problems. Without finding their place first, they are not able to succeed in their learning process. In most cases, culture shock is difficult to avoid especially if these are not just two different countries but two different continents. Each student needs an introduction to this new world, but he faces too make challenges to cope with them on his own. This is often one of the major explanations why they fail courses or even semesters. It should be reminded that social adaptation is vital for further curriculum progress. Otherwise, they feel detached from the environment. Thus, any further studies considering the experience of international students should be devoted to psychological and social aspects of adaptation as these are the key factors of their acculturation. I can select three of the leading trends that require deeper analysis. Firstly, the study of acculturation changes in the behavior of international students. Secondly, the study of acculturation stress - emotional changes the international students go through. And finally, the third area is the study of acculturation attitudes, i.e. attitudes and values that the individual form under the influence of new cultural environment. Thus it can be seen that student’s adaptation is a much more complex issue that it might

The increase in cultural diversity and promotion of global understanding in Australia, is reflected through the educational systems and their growing acceptance of international students. According to Australian Education International (AEI), the size of the international student population in

They have to face new experience and new challenges in their life when they come to abroad. The first year of their college abroad is a litmus test for them, if they have a positive experience they will stay but if they have negative experience they have to leave. I had observed the issues faced by the international students over here as they make their entry to new culture and a new educational system. They have to begin a new life in an environment that is very different. For example simple tasks such as going to grocery store where the language is different and the products are unfamiliar. The education system in India and Canada is different as in India, more focus is on memorization and there is no practical work but over here, more focus is on problem-solving skills and self-guided research. Majority of the students live without their family which is very hard for them to live without parents in abroad. Their parents sent them over here with a hope of their family

Intervention: MHP educated Timothy on the importance of exhibiting appropriate behavior. MHP provided skills training to teach Timothy ways to manage his behavior. MHP utilized a behavioral personal contract to give Timothy ownership of his behavior. MHP aided Timothy in identifying negative consequences that can occur as a result of inappropriate behavior. MHP guided Timothy in exploring factors that contribute to his unacceptable behavior. MHP provided Timothy an educational worksheet on setting behavioral goals. MHP used the thought-stopping technique for anger control. MHP asserted positive reinforcements for positive behavior.

I have worked diligently in the corporate world throughout my career with great success. Now, I feel a calling to give back in a setting where my efforts can make a difference in my community.

Studying abroad, which has become a common phenomenon, can be a fun and meaningful experience. Many university students are interested in studying abroad because it gives them an opportunity to explore different cultures and broaden their horizons. As Mark Sherry, Peter Thomas and Wing Hong Chui argue in “International Students: a Vulnerable Student Population,” the goals that students pursue international study are often to acquire different ways of learning and to improve cross-cultural understanding, which helps them gain self-confidence as well as maturity (33). This experience turns out to be beneficial to those who study abroad. Nevertheless, when students are surrounded by a wholly new environment, many problems that hinder their

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education. Good education will lead us to the bright future. With the fast advancement of public opinion, we have entered an era of information explosion which the necessity of studying abroad has turned into a developing pattern among youth. Most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side of fence.” In this way, I believe that considering abroad have extraordinary points of benefits.

In the movie “Rules of Engagement” I do not believe that the soldiers were guilty of anything. Even though these American soldiers may have killed some innocent Iraqi people I do not believe that they did it intentionally. The American soldiers were fighting for their lives because they just witnessed their fellow soldiers getting killed and their main goal was to survive and help their fellow soldiers survive. The soldiers acted accordingly to this situation. For example when they gave the people in the white car commands and they rejected them by running in the opposite direction. This made them look very suspect and this gave the American soldiers the right to eliminate the issue that they were presented with.

The international students tend to perform well in examinations, achieve high grades, be more competitive, and generally achieve highly in their studies. In other words, they are basically more “intrinsically involved” in the pursuit of their studies. For Asian students, the impact of socio-cultural and environmental factors could include prior learning experiences in home countries, fewer distractions while studying away from home, family pressure and expectations, and the costs and short time-spans for studying abroad. On the other hand, influential factors could be busy social schedules, family commitments, heavy workloads, study-related activities and the need to balance all of these for Australian students. Differences identified on the constructs of group and individual learning suggest that cultural values relating to collectivism and individualism might be important elements in influencing students’ learning style

“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes

International students face many different challenges when studying abroad. This is due to many factors. First, they are living in a country very far away from their own. The country they are studying at has a very different way of life than theirs. Further more, the laws in that country are much different than the laws in their own country. Due to that they face a lot of problems trying to adapt to this new culture. Me personally as an international student in the US studying at ASU, have faced three particularly difficult challenges that I was able to overcome through time. In this essay I will explain how international students can overcome tough challenges and situations.

An important part of the UDL framework is engaging and motivating students to learn. It is essential to provide students with options and supports in order to promote learner motivation and active engagement in learning. Planning lessons through a UDL framework means engaging students by tapping into their interests, challenging them appropriately, and motivating them to learn. Students are only able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills if they are engaged and motivated. Students should be given opportunities to make choices about the ways they engage in content and be prompted by teacher feedback in order to maintain student interest and motivation.
