Teaching & Supporting International Students
International students bring diversity, fresh perspectives, and unique challenges to our classrooms. But how well do we really understand their backgrounds, motivations, and learning experiences? Join our panelists, Drs. Elham Buxton, Sevilay Onal, and Te-Wei Wang for an insightful faculty training where they will explore:
Who are the international students in our classes? (Where they come from, their backgrounds, age, and prior institutions)
Why do they choose the U.S. and UIS specifically?
What factors impact their academic success and satisfaction?
What strategies can faculty use to enhance their learning experience?
What challenges arise when teaching or advising international students?
How can we create a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment?
This interactive session is an opportunity to share experiences, discuss common challenges, and learn practical strategies to support our diverse student population.
