Current Procedure

Using domestic student teaching assistants (SAs) in the ESOL classroom has been widely accepted as an effective tool for enhancing student learning. SAs have been shown to facilitate student participation in the classroom, foster students’ confidence in interacting with native speakers, and serve as a connection to the local culture (Lynch & Anderson, 2001). To capitalize on the benefits afforded by SAs, the AEC has, since 2007, integrated SAs into level one courses. However, research literature underscores that, to maximize SA efficacy, SAs must be purposefully trained for their roles (Gube & Phillipson, 2011; Kachi & Choon-hwa, 2001; Underhill & McDonald, 2010; Williams, 1991). As new GTAs, we observed that the AEC’s SAs represent a broad range of personalities, facilities, and experiences. Given these variances in SAs’ skills, we found ourselves questioning to what standard of knowledge we could and should hold them. Defining such a standard would enable teachers to design class activities that most productively draw upon the strengths of SAs without overstepping the boundaries of their expertise. Three lines of inquiry arose out of this realization: 1) What are the expectations of SAs at the AEC? 2) Do the AEC’s current, procedure-focused SA training practices satisfactorily prepare SAs to meet these expectations? If not, 3) how can the training program be improved to make the presence of SAs in the classroom more fruitful for students, teachers, and SAs alike?

Purpose of Study: Learning Indonesian for foreign speakers of Indonesian Language classes (BIPA) needs to be assessed using an interesting evaluation device that serves to make it easier for students to do tests, especially tests to measure reading comprehension. The required media was developed based on the 2015 Adobe Flash Creative Cloud software for intermediate level BIPA. The purpose of this study is to develop assessment media to read properly and effective understanding. Methodology: Research and Development research uses the Borg and Gall model which is simplified into six stages, namely (1) needs analysis; (2) product design; (3) manufacture of products; (4) validation; (5) revisions; and (6) product testing. Data collection techniques used were questionnaires and tests. Results: The results showed that the media for reading comprehension based on Adobe Flash Creative Cloud 2015 software was proper 76 and practical. Implications/Applications: Learning Indonesian for BIPA students is certainly different from domestic student learning. The specificity of treatment is not only in the teaching material but also in the assessment. This is done with the aim that learning is more successful because it is provided by media that is very helpful for BIPA students in mastering reading skills. Quiz as a media assessment was developed using local wisdom materials in Indonesia.

Are international students needy? Are they intractable? Do they plagiarize? Are they inefficient in writing? Do they negotiate grades? Are these ontological questions?   Is everything they do a manifestation of their being international students? Or is there a way to understand, first, the students as human beings? Perhaps what they do is not because they are international students. Let’s face it:   Internationals are strong. They are not here to receive our tender love and care. What they do need from us, fairly, is one thing, and that is understanding. It is important for college and university officials who work with international students to try to understand their students. Recognizing the international students as human beings like local students is the first step, one that goes a long way. Ask this question to yourself: what would a domestic student do in a similar situation? If the domestic student would do the same, then do not say that the international student did such and such because he or she is an international student. It’s because he is a human being.

The purpose of this study is to illustrate how college student perspectives with regard to promoting the United States as an international tourism destination can be fruitful for destination communication managers. This chapter presents the results of a survey of 691 foreign and domestic college students and identifies categories of terms to describe America that these students reported. The term categories are also examined to see if the respondents' year in school, gender or foreign/domestic student status impacts their identification of terms. The findings offer suggestions for campaign themes that support or run contrary to images currently held by the respondents.
