How to Teach International
Students
A practical teaching guide for universities and colleges
By Paul J. Kurucz
The classroom and lecture theatre of today is vastly different from the
past. Not only do western faculty face a colorful mix of local students,
but now they also regularly meet an international mix of cultures, ages,
religions, dress codes, language abilities, beliefs, values, and accents
from every around the globe.
Some questions arise when working with international students:
• "How do I teach to this diversity? Can I teach international
students the same way I teach “local” students? "
• "Why don’t they behave the same as “local”
students?"
•" I feel I am lowering the standards of my lectures and lessons!
How do I keep my standards up when working with international students
who don't have the language ability and background to "keep up"?"
Find out the answers to these and many more common questions in this practical
teaching guide. Using a new model for understanding behavior called “Success
Orientations”, this book works through a variety of practical challenges
and opportunities facing new and experienced teachers of international
students. Tools and techniques for tackling each challenge are detailed
and explained
fully. Make teaching international students a fun and rewarding experience!
"I think you've written on an important topic and deserves
our attention."

"I read your book cover to cover. I am going to reread
it very shortly as I think I was the proverbial dog drinking from the
fire hydrant of knowledge!!! Although the book is now plastered with post-its,
I really need to go back, slow down and digest."

workshop. You not only talked about challenges, but provided practical
solutions, too!"

"This should be mandatory reading for anyone who is embarking
on their first teaching assignment at the university level - and it should
be on the "seriously consider reading this" list for experienced
teachers who think they know it all."
