They have difficulty in understanding the class lectures and are reluctant to participate in the class activities and discussions. Many students get stressed due to their poor English and can’t express their knowledge in the exams or research papers even where they have good ideas. Pronunciation is also a factor as some students can’t pronounce and feel embarrassment in presentations. Their work and social life balance, combined with a new culture and its norms may cause a deadlock in the way of their academic progression.

It is widely acknowledged that prior educational experiences really influence learning. This applies to all students whether they are overseas or national. However students from different educational backgrounds and norms are significantly affected when they go abroad to complete their education.
