Bernsteinian Perspective On Further Marginalization Of International Students In Open And Online Learning Environment: Pedagogizing Student Centric Approaches, Syed Ali Nasir Zaidi, Atiya Razi
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
This paper attempted to explore the relevance of Bernstein’s (2001) critical views on the marginalization of international students in the context of emerging online learning models. It also focused on the disengaged learning patterns of marginalized international students via Bernstein’s (1990) theoretical lens of elaborated code and restrictive code, where Bernstein (2001) instructed teachers to play their vital roles in complex learning processes, which were heavy on teachers and students alike, to facilitate the healthy and successful learning trajectory. This paper used metadata via Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) (Fairclough & Wodak, 1997; Van Dijk, 2003) to construct themes from students’ …

Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
Post-secondary faculty are experiencing a rise in instances of plagiarism in student assignments and are looking for resources to help with both the reduction and the detection of plagiarism. International students are particularly vulnerable due to confusing policies and lack of awareness of educational practices in North American institutions, with many institutions focusing on punitive measures to deter academic misconduct. Alternatively, we explored a method that considers international students’ role in maintaining their academic integrity and places emphasis on student learning, curricular modifications, and good citizenship. We conducted a collaborative year-long pilot project with international business students in the implementation …

Decolonizing Teaching In Online English For Academic Purpose Environments, Simone Hengen
Decolonizing Teaching In Online English For Academic Purpose Environments, Simone Hengen
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
Continued revelations of the systemic racism and violence in past and present Canadian society underscore the importance for EAP educators to understand our situatedness in a settler society as the foundation of decolonizing classroom practices. This theoretical exploration advocates for the continuing to decolonize English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classrooms during the post-covid transition to online learning environments. This exploration draws on post-structural theories of identity (Butler, 2002; Foucault, 1980, 1991; Weedon, 1987), and Morgan’s (2004) conceptualization of identity as pedagogy, as contributions to decolonizing EAP classrooms in face-to-face or online environments.

Rethinking Online Education To Maximize Student Engagement, Matt Rahimian
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
International students face many challenges associated with the differences in their linguistic and socio-cultural backgrounds, and those of the host culture. Scholars have used the concept of communities of practice to elaborate on possible ways to increase international students’ engagement in learning and community. Participation in institutionally planned activities, and exploring networking opportunities in the community help these students build learning communities. In online education, however, the opportunities for participation in communities of practice can be burdensome. Adjustments of the course design and classroom activities are needed to increase the students’ participation in communities of practice, which can facilitate the …
Empathy Mapping: Bridging Cultural And Linguistic Divides In International Online Education, Juliet Lammers
Empathy Mapping: Bridging Cultural And Linguistic Divides In International Online Education, Juliet Lammers
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The concept of empathy, commonly used in user experience (UX) design, has gained traction in distance education communities (Matthews et al., 2017). Empathy offers designers insight into users and their contexts (Neubauer et al., 2017) and helps designers “understand how instruction would be experienced” (Parrish, 2006), thus improving the overall outcome (Lewis & Contrino, 2016; Neubauer et al., 2017; Parrish, 2006). UX designers use a visualization tool called empathy mapping to chart information about their users. Empathy maps are used at the outset of a project and continue to evolve and inform the project as new data emerges. This paper …

Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The neoliberal market-reform within the Canadian tertiary education sector led to the proliferation in student mobility, which has translated to 600,000 international students (IS) over the past two decades (Scott et al., 2015; Firang, 2020), contributing to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) by $26.1 billion (IRCC, 2019). Racialized IS attending post-secondary education (PSE) in Canada accounted for systemic barriers that thereby hinder their student experience and academic outcomes. Such challenges included culture shock (Popadiuk & Arthur, 2004), linguistic speaking barriers (Guo & Guo, 2017), discrimination (Myles & Cheng, 2003; Chen & Zhou, 2019), employment exploitation (Scott et al., 2015), securing …

Negotiating Differences In Academic Preparedness Among Transnational Students In Higher Education, Nadine S. Bekkouche, Saul Carliner
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
“Students these days don’t know anything,” commented a faculty member in a focus group. But is it that students don’t know anything, or that faculty members are unfamiliar with what students do know? This is no small issue, as the acceleration of internationalization in higher education and the broader processes of globalization have led to increased numbers of students with general education profiles that differ from those of the instructors and their domestic students. These transnational students—not only international students (paying international tuition), but also permanent residents and citizens —received their primary and secondary (and, possibly, undergraduate) educations outside of …
