The University’s strategy aims to increase the numbers of International Students studying here, and this brings particular challenges for teaching staff.
Do you sometimes wonder if your international students are able to fully engage with their studies? Have you been in a situation where the international students in your class seem very quiet and reluctant to engage in group discussion?
Have you found a higher proportion of international students seemed to struggle with their assignments?
This guide highlights some of the issues facing international students studying in the UK and it provides tips for teaching staff to use in order to maximise students’ engagement in their studies. In addition it provides references to further reading and resources both within the University and externally.
You can find the document named ‘Good practice guide for supporting international students’ on your SUSSED pages under Quick Links.
The production of the guide was funded by the Transition to Living & Learning Project.
