Introduction. The Benefits Of Training And Developing Teachers

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

Maureen Andrade article, “International students face academic and social transition issues in their first year of university” (P.135), so, students will face hard times at the beginning because they came from different countries which have different traditions and believes so, they will need time to adjust with the new environment depends on the student’s personality if he or she is extroverted or introverted. Accordingly, social adjustment issues present an obstacle for the international student; they face new life style, and sometimes the social support they get is less than what the domestic students get. Language proficiency can be the biggest obstacle for the international students, sometimes they feel shy speaking to native speakers because

Classroom etiquette in other countries is different than in the United States. Nathan quotes several international student’s and what they observe as the difference between a class in the United States and a class in their own countries. International students claim that what they observed is disrespectful and would not be tolerated in their own countries. They observed American students coming to class wearing shorts, flip-flops and sometimes even Pajamas; American students can eat and drink, American students pack up and leave the class when time ends even if the professor has not finished talking and that American students can leave class anytime without the professor’s permission. (78) This claim was also made by Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Intercultural Communication

“The number of Americans studying abroad has tripled over the last 20 years, but, still, fewer than 10 percent of college students study overseas during undergraduate years”. (Kristof) The ideals America has set in response to a changing world has prompted fear in its citizens, who are now unwilling to chase their desire to explore a new land. While the rest of the world has shown an opposite reaction to a changing world as, “Three times as many foreigner’s study in America”. (Kristof) American citizens has become reluctant to chase the desire all humans have to experience something new and this is becoming a problem as “growing numbers of seniors will finance retirement by moving to cheaper countries like Mexico, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica”. (Kristof) Americans that fear traveling to another place to study instead choose to take a language class for four years in their educational institution. “It makes in since to study Spanish in college… it’s more effective to move to Bolivia, study or get a job and fall in love”. (Kristof) It has been proven time and time again that people can learn through a logos path of teaching such as those universities adopt, but if you can learn something through a pathos path of teaching such as moving to another country to study its culture; you will make a much stronger and lasting connections in the brain. “I have a one-question test than people who have lived abroad do better on than those who studied in a classroom… In a foreign language you’ve studied, how do you say doorknob”.

In academia, the internationalization of higher education was designed to build cultural bridges and to unite education scheme around the World (Knight,2004). Internationalization of Higher Education could be divergently defined by many scholars. In this respect, Chan and Dimmock (2008) suggest that "Internationalization is a multifaceted concept, with many different interpretations, emphases, and purposes."(p.184).So, internationalization `s meaning depends on the context being used in. A point of agreement, however, would be what is maintained by Knight(2004).For her, internationalization of higher education is broadly defined as a set of global educational tasks which are implemented within the higher education curricula in order to internationalize the learning-teaching process and to promote global harmony across universities (2004).To exemplify, university exchange programmes might be the most important activity to shed light on, with a particular link to the context of our study. Hence, the meaning of internationalization in the present purposeful work is limited to the scope of international academic and exchange programmes in higher

Being a foreigner who is studying in the United States makes me able to compare the education system in the United States and another country and how the students and the teachers react with it. One of the things

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.

Higher education in the UK has probably become one of the most popular choices for international students. The study devoted into the experiences of the international students report that the phenomenon of culture shock as a part of challenges could be troubling them (UKCISA, 2008). Whereas, the students who come from developing countries responded that the higher education in the UK would extend work field as well as the effect of social cognition (Mazzarol and Soutar, 2002).

“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.

The higher education of students has become increasingly internationalised, with an evergrowing proportion of students originating from overseas. However, research to date suggests that overseas students are often less satisfied with their courses than other students. Consequently, there is a burgeoning need for universities to

This section will show the results from the questionnaire (see appendix A). The fifteen international students who are studying at Middlesex University were presented in the questionnaireresearch.To begin with, the seven nationalities were presented in this research. There were the dramatic differences between Saudi 33% and Nepal 6%, respectively. The second common was seen in China 20% and Thailand 20%. The figure for Myanmar 7% was exactly the same as Vietnam7% and Nigeria7%. Next, there were dramatic differences between students who have lived in the UK 2 months or less 60% and 5-11 months 13%. Moreover, the common was seen in the Social life which the difference between UK culture and other culture

While those students and scholars who pursue face to face learning could also choose to study abroad. Singh (2011) illustrates that globalization in higher education promotes the flow of knowledge and also makes the university more available through breaking down the isolated world.
