A Little Shelter From The Storm: Covid-19 And The ‘Atlantic Bubble’, Dylan Mackenzie
A Little Shelter From The Storm: Covid-19 And The ‘Atlantic Bubble’, Dylan Mackenzie
The Canadian Society for Study of Practical Ethics / Société Canadienne Pour L'étude De L'éthique Appliquée — SCEEA
The ‘Atlantic Bubble’ (hereafter AB) is often conflated with the impressive resistance to COVID-19 outbreaks in Atlantic Canada. My paper discusses the evolution of that resistance as a way of clarifying this distinction. Understood as a political plan, AB features a response to COVID-19 which contrasts with the reaction in much of the rest of Canada. As a result, it has practical implications for future political planning in Canada, especially vis-à-vis epidemiological risk assessment. I conclude with a brief survey of the broader questions raised by AB, arguing that there are philosophical assumptions about the nature of community in Atlantic …

Proactive Not Punitive: Strategies To Prevent Plagiarism And Promote International Student Success, Ann Liang, Tasha Maddison, Selinda England
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 …

Learning Experiences And Challenges Facing Black International Students At The University Of Windsor, Francisca I. Omorodion, Linda Coltman, Olayemi Babajide, Egbe Etowa
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
In the past two decades, the international-student population increased to about 600,000 (Canada Bureau for International Education, 2018). According to The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, 2019I), international students contributed an estimated $21.6 billion to the Canadian gross domestic product. With the COVID-19 pandemic, recruitment of international students, and the economic contribution they bring is under threat. More so, the lockdown imposed by the government, and schools’ adoption of online learning, further poses challenges and unique experiences to children, and young persona, especially international students. We used qualitative data from a focus group of 10 male Black students, aged …

Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The objective of this study was to provide four former graduate students a public platform to share their personal accounts about the challenges, supports, successes, and other factors that facilitated, or hindered, their transitions from Africa to Canada. Factors that are investigated include cultural differences that pose problems in adapting to a western lifestyle and culture. Government and community programs that help these new Canadian residents to adapt to a new climate, society, and culture are also referenced in individual sections. The effects of social separation from their families, friends, and community, collectively, are also of interest. Another common problem …

The Poetry Café: An On-Line Writing Workshop For Refugee And Newcomer Youth, Christin Taylor, Sana Abuleil
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The objective of this paper is to discuss the use of cross-disciplinary partnerships to design and implement a creative writing workshop for English-language learners (ELLs) in an online setting. The methodology utilized collaborative, cross-disciplinary feedback and revision cycles to identify key areas of consideration in facilitating the workshop. The findings revealed cultural and grammatical considerations, emotional nuance considerations, idiomatic language considerations, and internal translation and time considerations in the creative writing process for ELLs. In addition, a reflection, after the completion of the workshop, revealed that while the curriculum successfully implemented three scholarly fields of knowledge, the advances made by …

Empowering International Students As Global Citizens: Promising Praxis For Virtual Global Learning, Linyuan Guo-Brennan, Julie Massey, Wesley Wilkinson
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The COVID-19 global pandemic disrupted the traditional ways of providing global learning to students in higher education, and offered international students new opportunities to develop intercultural competency in a virtual environment. Anchored in literature, teaching reflection, student reflection, and critical global citizenship education theory and practices, this article analyzes and discusses the andragogic, cultural, linguistic, academic, and technological dimensions of providing meaningful and inclusive global learning and engagement to international students in a virtual/online environment. Placing international students at the centre of critical academic decisions, this article introduces promising practices and strategies for empowering international students as global citizens, such …

Social And Emotional Learning Difficulties Of Refugee High School Students In An After-School Tutoring Program, Xiaofei Xu, Xibei Zhu, George Zhou
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
School-aged children constitute a significant portion of the large number of refugees who have resettled in Canada in recent years. Due to the lack of cross-cultural competencies, a social justice focus, and transformative leadership skills, Canadian schools are often challenged to effectively address refugee students’ socio-psychological problems. Moreover, educational literature and policy, which specifically target Canadian refugee students, are scarce. To help with the issue, this study examined eight refugee high school students through an online after-school tutoring program and evaluated their performances in the five domains of social-emotional learning competencies: social awareness, self-management, relationship skills, responsible decision making, and …
Mind The Gap: Mentoring, Goal-Setting And Self-Evaluation For International Graduate Students, Yishin Khoo, Alan Wright
Mind The Gap: Mentoring, Goal-Setting And Self-Evaluation For International Graduate Students, Yishin Khoo, Alan Wright
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The objective of this paper is to understand how peer mentoring and exercises to encourage goal-setting and self-evaluation can support first year international graduate students to engage in Canadian universities’ online learning environment during COVID-19. Surveys, students’ work, and instructors’ reflections were used to inform the current study. Preliinary findings show that during COVID-19, online peer mentoring and exercises to encourage goal-setting and self-evaluation have been able to support international students’ behavioural, cognitive and emotional engagement in Canadian academic learning to a certain degree. The findings also show that there is a need to use real-time communication tools to enhance …

Climate Inaction As Discrimination Against Young People, Nathan Brett
The Canadian Society for Study of Practical Ethics / Société Canadienne Pour L'étude De L'éthique Appliquée — SCEEA
As many young people are now making clear, they are being subjected to extraordinary risks of harms because of government inaction on climate change. In a previous paper, I argued that those who accept climate science have an obligation to join forces with others in pressing for adequate policies. Given what is at stake, it is quite wrong for individuals go about their everyday lives while ignoring the problem. This is not a vague obligation to future generations, nor is it an obligation that is opaque to common-sense morality. This paper is a commentary on Greta Thunberg’s brief but powerful …
