Essays on International Students

Slide 2

Owing to the fact that learning in an academic institution is a comprehensive process, students are exposed to a wide spectrum of stressors. This situation is mainly attributed to the fact that they are compelled to appreciate the content being put across by their teachers while handling their personal affairs simultaneously. According to the Journal of Organizational Behavior (2016), active stress development hinders the overall cognitive abilities of an individual thereby limiting their productivity. As such, students are less productive when they are exposed to the vulnerabilities of stress in their academic institutions. To prevent mediocre performance due to ...

It is very rarely that a story could have an effect on the reader. This is why I am thankful that I encountered Wendy Mass’ “Every Soul a Star.” As I read though the story, I was able to relate to the experiences of the main characters. Being a young person I also meet challenges where I need to change. The story gives its readers important insights on how important and inevitable change is. In the story, three young people went through life changing experiences in a place called Moon Shadow Campground.

Introduction

Relocation has been cited as one of the major causes of decline in the academic performance of many international students (Altbach, & Knight, 2007). Research by psychologists indicate that relocation to new countries affect the performance of international students as they are faced with cultural shock and have to struggle to keep up with the country’s education system(Rienties, Beausaert, Grohnert, Niemantsverdriet, & Kommers, 2012).

For several decades, Canada was the country which has one the most fair and generous countries in terms of their immigration policy. But, in 2006, the Canadian government started reforms that focused on using the immigration system in order to fuel the economy of the nation. In addition, the government wanted to place, “a high priority on finding people who have the skills and experience required to meet Canada’s economic needs” (“Points-Based Immigration Systems: Canada”). Mobility of international students has become a competitive industry, where many countries have aligned their immigration pathways and marketing strategies. For example, during ...

Canadian immigration has been one of the most coveted citizenships for immigrants all over the world and the Canadian government has maintained their fair and lenient immigration policy for years. With the global competition for international students, Universities in Canada have needed support from their government to attract the best talent from all over the world as these students provide billions of dollars to the Canadian economy in terms of their tuition fees, accommodation charges and other expenses. After graduation, these students can provide years of service to the Canadian economy by filling out jobs, paying taxes and buying ...

Methodological Paradigm

I will approach the study through the Critical Theorist lens. A critical theory paradigm focuses on a research through a political perspective, whereby various groups: politicians, men, rich people, capitalism in general influence and exert power over other groups. It is all about power and influence. In other words, the critical theory approaches issues through a historical lens. The objective of the paradigm is emancipation of the oppressed (Dantzker& Hunter, 2012).For that reason, I will rely on dialogue method, which is a combination of interviews and observations with approaches that prompt reflection and conversation for a qualitative research. ...

Attending college or university is an exciting idea, and every year many educational institutions embark on offering admission for prospective freshmen students. But while the majority of high school graduates plan on going straight up to college, taking a gap year is another option that is gaining popularity in recent years. A gap year is referred to as a year in between high school graduation and first year of college, though it can be ...

Multiculturalism in the classroom is beneficial for the students and for the general atmosphere at university. Students and instructors need to be from different nationalities because that is what enriches the experience of everybody and raises the influence of the university. People feel best when they are surrounded by people of various cultural, racial and ethnical backgrounds which is why multicultural classroom is what matters most when it comes to the benefits young people can have from their learning experience. The advantages of multicultural classroom are numerous because students have the opportunity to get familiar with other cultures and ...

Being from South Korea, I did not have the opportunity to experience the school system in America until much later in my academic career. I feel that the age I arrived in the United States made it much more difficult for me to adapt to the differences between the school systems because I entered in university when many of my peers had come earlier in high school to the United States or had grown up in the American schooling system. Upon my arrival, I first went to MT.SAC and then applied to transfer to Cal Poly Pomona. Cal Poly ...

Introduction

Large and small businesses in all industries face particular risk, which is either perceived or unknown. The risk can occur at any time during the firm operation cycle and lead to the collapse of the particular business.

Regardless of the risk, every management is keen to implement proper ways to ensure the business doesn’t suffer negatively. Some companies choose to avoid the risk while others control the loss.

In a globalized world, it seems as though culture shock is inevitable. Essentially, people “encounter culture shock whenever they uproot themselves from a familiar setting and move to an unfamiliar one,” (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2011, p. 93). With millions of people traveling as tourists, finding work in other countries, and students studying outside of their homeland, culture shock is an experience that will ultimately affect so many. For some scholars, what it really boils down to is how a person handles their culture shock, and how their reaction to culture shock will affect their ability to adapt to a new ...

Types of Social Challenges Faced By Indian Students in Melbourne Tertiary Universities

Overview of existing research Whereas there have been worrying acts of hostility, Australia is commonly considered an excellent practice country in its international student experiences, migration policies, and assimilation of people from diverse backgrounds. Despite a normally upbeat track record, room and chance for improvement are always there, as recent shortcomings in the experiences of international students in Australia indicate. Recently, foreign students living in Australia have been physically attacked and in fact murdered. Victimization is a shameful and painful experience and must not be condoned in any institutional arrangement or public policy, yet, it still happens even in ...

I will be focusing on drug use among international students. International students from around the globe benefit from the foreign education system which is considered to offer quality education. They may be beneficiaries of sponsorship or scholarship program, or they may be self-sponsoring themselves. Such opportunities go a long way in providing exposure and making students’ live better lives as they learn how to live harmoniously in a multi-cultural setting as well as broaden their minds. With the exposure, comes certain challenges which include coping with climate changes, enhancing their problem-solving skills, borrowing new business ideas, discovering new ways ...

International students who go abroad for their education face a two-fold challenge. Like their native-born peers, they must master the subject in which they are obtaining their degree. But they must also acquire the language of their new country and learn to assimilate into its culture. For this reason, foreign-born students who enter university in an English-speaking country have a harder time than most students. This does not mean, however, that they should be held to a lower standard. A passing score on an English achievement test should be a necessary condition for their acceptance into a university, but ...

Introduction

No one could have anticipated the scope of integration and pervasiveness of the internet in contemporary societies. Since its inception, the internet has undergone unprecedented growth in its reach and applications to become a staple in various sectors of the economy. A key technological revolution that accompanied its development was the emergence of social media as a primary platform for communication. Social media refers to web-based tools and services aimed at fostering community development through information sharing (Tarantino, McDonough, & Hua, 2013). They include blogs, wikis, sharing tools, networking platforms, media (e.g. video, audio, photo, and text), ...

China has always had high immigration numbers. In the past, unskilled men typically left to find jobs abroad and then sent the money home and returned when they made enough to sustain their families (Skeldon). Over the last several decades China has been experiencing financial, governmental and demographic changes. China has the highest number of people of any one country and they are experiencing tremendous levels of migration both in and out of the country. In 2010 China was ranked in fourth place in the area of immigration that took place around the world (Skeldon). In the mid 1960’ ...

America is known as the melting pot of the world, a place where people from any part of the world who wishes to get equal opportunities in life go to.

The most crucial part of correcting non-speakers is by starting with the understanding that they are learning, and it is a process that has to take time for them to become conversant with the language. It is significant for them to take it step by step. Learning few words at a time, then moving on to phrases. Keep the sentences as brief as possible to avoid getting lost on what to say next. Learning, in this case, is not just about speech but also an adjustment to a new culture. The teacher does not just start teaching. They need ...

Intercultural awareness can be difficult for some, and after interviewing some of the foreign students on the WSU campus, it is clear it is a hurdle we must overcome here, as well. Some students feel ignored, as if American society ignores them, only caring about its own culture. I found stereotypes were often placed on an international student’s shoulders as an invisible burden and, even when they attempted to educate the individual on the realities of their country and culture, it was brushed off. The issue is not the reality of the world, but the openness of American ...
