505			_a"Understanding Your International Students surveys the school cultures of the many countries whose students top the international student enrollment lists in the U.S. educational institutions. No other volume so comprehensively addresses the educational, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds of the international students who are studying in English-speaking countries.
505			_aUnderstanding Your International Students is a thoughtful collection of perceptions and recurrent observations balanced by institutional data derived from official governments sources. It is an excellent resource designed to sensitize users to the myriad differences that exist among schools and students around the world, to pique interest in deeper cultural exploration, and to provide encouragement and support for effective cross-cultural problem-solving.
505			_aFor each country profiled, the following information is featured: a statistical profile; a deep culture summary; and a table providing information related to school calendars, curricula, exams, grades, homework, and classroom setup.
505			_aSections on educational policy, teaching style, learning style, instructional setting, after-school activities, discipline and class management, teacher-student and student-student relationships, nonverbal behavior, forms of address, polite/impolite topics and behaviors, and gift giving are included. In addition, problem/solution scenarios at the end of each chapter address challenges specific to the classroom and the student population described." (Book Jacket)
