“…International students were concerned about the high level English language skills required to deliver competent SLP services to Australian clients. This is consistent with previous research findings that ESL health professional students and their CEs were concerned about their communication difficulties in clinical placements (Bolderston et al, 2008;Clouten, Homma, & Shimada, 2006;Ladyshewsky, 1996).…”

“…Communication skills, including accent and basic English skills were noted as areas of weakness for minority students (Clouten et al, 2006:10). In Canada, Bolderston, Palmer, Flanagan, and McParland (2008) conducted a small study of the perceptions of English as second language (ESL) radiation therapy students and CEs about barriers to student learning in clinical placements. In separate focus groups, students and CEs identified concerns about communication, confidence, and avenues for support (Bolderston, Palmer, Flanagan, & McParland, 2008).…”

Similarly, Ladyshewsky's (1996) focus group interviews with nine Asian physiotherapy students and eleven Australian CEs identified similar concerns about communication difficulties for international students on placement.…”

The findings of this study suggest that international students experience additional communication, cultural and contextual demands on clinical placement, which may increase their learning requirements. Clinical education practices must be responsive to the learning needs of diverse student populations. Strategies are suggested to assist all students to adjust to the professional and learning expectations of clinical education placements.

“…Another factor affecting student success is the academic environment. This includes differences between teaching and learning styles [6,15] and instructors' lack of experience working with English as a second language (ESL) students [3,14]. An instructors' personality may also affect students' success [3].…”

Understanding students' perceptions of their academic success in an academic post-secondary setting is integral to the development of student success. This article highlights the importance of understanding that student success is complex and culturally linked in a post-secondary setting. This qualitative research study explored the research question: What are the perceived obstacles and motivators to student success in a post-secondary English as a foreign language (EFL) setting in Qatar? In conducting this research, the researchers sought to identify student obstacles and motivators to success in an academic setting. Using a grounded theory approach, cyclical data collection and analysis was completed. Thirty-five participants were involved in interviews and focus groups, which were conducted at an international branch university campus in Qatar. Thematic analysis allowed for the emergence of four broad themes of what accelerates or deters student success. From this thread emerged the two core themes: achieving balance and following goals and passion. Research participants identified that obstacles and motivators have a direct impact on their perceived academic success. These findings have great significance to the academic setting and may inform other academic institutions with a large population of second language nursing students.

“…Some of my previous research in the field of education looked at the experiences of culturally diverse undergraduate radiation therapy students. 6,7 In both projects the relationships (between the student-teacher/preceptor) were the most important element that predicted success, above and beyond other supports and interventions. Relationships are important, and in healthcare the connection between the patient and the HCP is vital to high quality care.…”
