Overview

This book explores the promising practices for teaching linguistically and culturally diverse international students within post-secondary educational institutions. In particular, we plan to focus on the student's voice with this book. First, it explores the promising practices for teaching culturally and diverse international students. Second, it presents the student voice as it relates to student satisfaction and student perceptions of learning. It will do this by examining differences at the academic discipline level, in-person vs. online/open environments, and academic level. It also addresses student supervision of international graduate students, writing support, and related support services needed by international students. The book will also address differences between international students who come from various educational systems. It should lead to a more complete understanding as to what teaching practices work best, and what international students prefer in the way of instructional practices, along with instructor characteristics. This book will be valuable for faculty members who teach courses regarding diversity, international and comparative education related to post-secondary instruction, faculty who teach pre-service education, educational developers who are looking at how best to support faculty development as it relates to teaching international students, academic administrators who are exploring the development of academic programs focused on the needs of prospective international students, professional associations and governmental bodies who are responsible for assessing the academic quality of international student-focused academic programs, and more.
