The Making and Remaking of the Chinese international Students: Perceptions as L2 Learners/Users -- Chapter 4. Understanding the Lived Experiences: A Poststructuralist Interpretation -- Chapter 5. Thoughts to Stakeholders in the Eye of the Beholders -- Chapter 6 Conclusions and Thinking to the Future.This book marks a departure from traditional assumptions concerning the deficiencies of Chinese international students in terms of learning and adapting. It employs phenomenological narrative inquiry and a small culture approach to investigate the evolved, fluid experience of pursuing a graduate degree in the U.S. at Blue Fountain University (a pseudonym for a mid-western university). Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this book addresses two fundamental questions: What study abroad is and what study abroad counts? The sociocultural dimensions that shape the cross-border degree seeking endeavors inform stakeholders what works for Chinese international students’ successful pursuits as EFL learners and ESL users and what could be improved. This book shares thoughts on the implications and impact of educational contexts to stakeholders at normal and dynamic contexts interrupted by global pandemic outbreak. It contributes to the understanding of the internationalization of the host institute and the EFL education reform efforts (policy making, teacher education, and classroom practice) in China (and in Asia at large).Education in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,2214-9791 ;56Language and languagesStudy and teachingInternational educationComparative educationEducation, HigherLanguage EducationInternational and Comparative EducationHigher EducationLanguage and languagesStudy and teaching.International education.Comparative education.Education, Higher.Language Education.International and Comparative Education.Higher Education.371.829951073Zhou Yalun1074136Wei MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483878203321The lived experience of Chinese international students in the U.S2571496UNINA
