Respectful interactions: learning with international students in the English-speaking academy
Abstract
International students entering postgraduate courses in Australian universities encounter numerous challenges in their new environments. Many relate to the academic literacy and pedagogical practices in the English-speaking academic environment, which international students time and again have reported assume local linguistic and cultural knowledge and can result in feelings of disengagement and a sense that their own knowledge and experiences are undervalued. These practices are often associated with the notion of a native-speaker norm in the English-speaking academy, which exercises tacit power in pedagogy and assessment. Here, we identify the perceptions of international students with whom we have worked in our teaching and our research, which illustrate the impacts on their self-identity and self-esteem as they operate in unfamiliar linguistic and cultural environments. We identify essential principles for teaching and learning environments which students believe can help them to engage more actively in respectful conversations promoting learning for all. We focus on the personal impacts for international students of operating in new academic cultures, and seek ways of promoting dialogic, multivoiced learning spaces for all participants.

“Finally, assessment is indivisible from individual value judgements. No matter the structures and processes put in place, assessments are designed and evaluated by humans, with all their complex socio-cultural backgrounds, educational experiences, and intellectual and personal values (Malouff and Thorsteinsson 2016; Ryan and Viete 2009; Leathwood 2005; Stowell 2004).”

In the citing paper
“Referencing Litowitz (1993), they illustrate how academics can unconsciously conflate proof of learning with a learner becoming more like them: an assessment is judged to have value because it approximates the style (in language, in content, in tone) of the individual making the judgement rather than because of its intrinsic quality.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
