| Summary: | "Academic Skills for International Students emphasises students' potential for flexibility and change, and shows them how, through understanding a new educational setting, and adapting their existing learning skills to this, they can acquire the learning habits of successful students. The book takes a unique approach by focusing in the first instance on what 'learning and understanding' means in the 'Western' educational paradigm and how international students can develop adaptive behaviour to enable them to operate in that paradigm. The elements of language development and improvement are then fitted in to that overall pedagogic approach."--Publisher's website. |
