Opis

This research covers all the key aspects of the main characteristics of Korean students experiences in learning English as a second language, the best preparations required for them to enter Australian undergraduate programs, the main difficulties faced by them in adapting to the use of the general English language, particularly for Australian tertiary level academic purposes, and the critical cross-cultural challenges that they encounter in Australian undergraduate programs. This research is designed both for Korean and other international students and particularly for those who are involved as English language education providers. This research is an ideal guide to assist students through that demanding first year of study preparation and for teachers this will provide you with an accessible source of knowledge and a pedagogical guidance about international students who speak English as a second language.
