“…we speak of international students when we mean students who have chosen to travel to another country for tertiary study … most of their previous experience will have been of other educational systems, in cultural contexts and sometimes in a language that is different from the one in which they will now study.”
(Carroll & Ryan, 2005)
I’m going to be an International
Student!! I wonder what that means.
