However, international students are often treated as a homogenous collective group, which ignores the diversity present between students from different cultures and contexts. There is also a tendency for international students to be taught through what we call a \u2018deficit narrative\u2019, where they are assumed to lack certain skills or proficiencies necessary for success or be perceived as needing to \u2018catch up\u2019 compared to home students.<\/p>\n<p>Building on subject specialism in pedagogies with international students, Jenna Mittelmeier advocates for more inclusive approaches to our work with international students. She particularly advocates for developing more transformative pedagogies that are supportive of a wider range of diversity present in the classroom. Particularly questions for reflection include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What assumptions am I making about my students and their knowledges?<\/li>\n<li>What barriers might my practices put up for various groups of students to succeed?<\/li>\n<li>What about my practice might be making cultural assumptions or be culturally-based?<\/li>\n<li>Where does the knowledge I teach come from? Why is it included and whose voices are being ignored?<\/li>\n<li>To what extent does my teaching treat students as pedagogic partners and epistemic equals?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, Jenna shares suggestions for good practice for supporting international students whether on or off campus (see\u00a0<strong>Top Tips<\/strong>\u00a0below).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video _builder_version=&#8221;3.17.6&#8243;
