“…However, thriving as an outcome is broader than merely GPA or graduation attainment. Thus, international student affairs professionals can help build confidence in all areas of life, including, but not limited to, a student's academic success, sense of efficacy, and even vis-à-vis their family (Grimm et al, 2019). Thriving includes measures for positive thinking, social connectedness, engaged learning, diverse citizenship, and academic determination.…”

Set in the context of four-year colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, this study examined how the level of thriving differs for international students and their domestic peers, how the level of thriving differs across various subgroups within international students, and how academic self-confidence is associated with the level of thriving for international students. Using data from the 2017 Thriving Quotient, this study found that international students were less likely to thrive during their college years than their domestic peers and that Asian international students were less likely to thrive than their international peers of other racial groups. Findings also suggested that academic self-confidence was significantly and positively related to international students’ thriving during their college years.

Learning communities have become a focal point of research due to their potential impact on learning outcomes, motivation, and communication. These factors are recognized as crucial determinants of the effectiveness of learning communities. To guide this study, a thorough review of 35 relevant studies was conducted, employing rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the PRISMA framework to ensure a systematic and robust approach. The findings of this study indicated that learning communities possess the capacity to enhance communication, motivation, and learning outcomes, while simultaneously alleviating learner anxiety. Specifically, it was observed that well-designed online learning communities can significantly improve learning outcomes. Furthermore, the utilization of online technologies within these communities can facilitate enhanced communication, leading to improved learning outcomes. Moreover, this study offers a range of recommendations for optimizing learning outcomes through the implementation of learning communities. These recommendations serve as valuable guidance for harnessing the full potential of learning communities to achieve educational goals. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of learning communities in enhancing learning outcomes, motivation, and communication. It highlights the efficacy of appropriately designed online communities and the integration of technology in fostering effective communication and improving learning outcomes. The study contributes important insights into ways of maximizing the benefits of learning communities in promoting educational success.

Research on translingual repertoires has highlighted the diverse semiotic resources that individuals access in communication, but little research has considered how spatial factors permit or limit access to these resources. Furthermore, as translingual studies have predominantly focused on interactional analysis, there is a paucity of studies on how social networks shape the repertoires of users. To fill this gap, we examine the communicative practices of an international spouse temporarily living in the United States. Through interview data and mobility maps, we analyze the participant’s subject positioning and its relation to his use of spatial resources in different spaces. Despite the participant’s low English proficiency, he engaged in conversations in many spaces through strategic employment of semiotic resources, including multiple languages and material objects. He also adopted certain positionings that afforded him more opportunities to interact. Thus, we argue that the usefulness of semiotic resources is tied to the spaces in which they are employed and that access to these resources is shaped by subject positioning.
