| الملخص: | Final report from a project that studied the influence of increasing numbers of cross-cultural students on teaching and learning approaches in Australian education. It aimed to improve the understanding of Asian students' cultural backgrounds, their previous learning approaches, and their perspectives on Australian culture and modes of education with the objective of helping international students to overcome the difficulties of cross-cultural study. In 2008 the partner institutions conducted a student questionnaire survey and interviews among business and information technology students. Data showed that international students experience significant cross-cultural and language difficulties in their learning process. Apart from language problems, the study found that unfamiliar environment, different teaching methods and culture shock are the main difficulties experienced by first-year international students. Based on these findings, the project devised guidelines for lecturers and education managers to improve approaches to teaching/managing students from diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as guidelines to assist students of Asian background to develop better study strategies in their cross-cultural learning environments. |
