International Student Diary - Canada Aliens

Pakistan is my country, including Canada became the fourth country I have been training. After getting a college credit at home, I do the United States and Dubai, as well as by pursuing a bachelor's degree in business and began my journey as an international student.

While there, I faced great difficulties on several levels.

The problems of racial discrimination had to adapt to the new environment and culture shock. Canadian comedian Russell Peters, Middle Easterners, blacks today I had to go through since 9/11 that they have to do, I found myself laughing out loud at one point that it was heard.

One thing's for sure: When Osama Bin Laden was killed in an extremely released. Often - - I have no clue what the answer was when I was released as "Bin Laden's" American asked by people in the south

Today, more than at any other time in our history, people often travel for many reasons. Travel is very important to the spread of globalization, but is looking to travel for educational purposes? Some say the international students, travelers or "foreigners taking advantage of our country's public education system looks like today?

As we have seen as a source of income for them, funded by governments, of course, there is and by the educational institutions, international student tuition fees generally pay a premium rate.

If you are organizing an international student has invented a country like Australia, could be exported to international education. US-year, $ 20 billion for research and education in Australia is coming up with an international student in Australia's third largest export, shows that. Such statistics, these "foreigners" can change people's perception.

Travel to another country to attract institutional sponsorship there are several types of educational programs.

Which encourages students to travel to another country's education programs, study abroad - on the faculties of universities in different countries to attend the University of Choice for students to have a partner in another country - they are for sharing.

The application for an academic term or a school year may continue. They carefully organized and usually the main purpose of gaining experience in another country as part of the globalization movement, the group will be pre-arranged.

Then he set out on a journey of their own, for the most part independent international students there. This is the most traditional form of education and higher education to carefully choosing a college in a different country, like me, will contain a student.

What to bring international students

International students bring with them a new perspective. As an international student, I always instructor, who was given great support from classmates as well as significant knowledge and experience to share with the class.

The destination of international students on campus is nothing new, as well as to place of residence. This is our life, our clothes; our eating habits are changing and a sense of humor for holidays and celebrations.

There are people who can experience without having to travel, so the addition of the flavor of the other international students brings to campus. The next best thing to travel abroad, I see myself hanging out with international students welcomed by some local, some countries have considered.

Surprisingly Philippines’ roommates and a friend of mine works mainly in French, happily admits: "I live in France and I have been working in the Philippines."

The issue of language

On the other hand, international students are always away from the main issue is to deal with the language barrier. The local slang and accents to understand the differences in social skills and a sense of humor and also the difficulties.

We had some scores to complete the university's English language testing system that meets the criteria of the English language, but we have a local accent or dialect spoken English commands can fight. Boy, I was the most people I have a hard time speaking English is not a thought in South America, there was a communication ...

Despite some language that we often humor "bizarre" There is a sense uncivilized "aliens" looks like. Rather than learning something valuable international students, some of them due to their lack of command of the native language are not to look down on them as less knowledgeable.

To conclude, I interact with them in a way that benefits the members of the local community and would like to stress the importance of dealing with international students. I was facing the challenges of globalization and international students as it reaches its full potential will ease off.

Teachers and university staff have a great responsibility to inspire elements of tolerance in the society. Today I want to tell us that we truly global village era of globalization, "we hope to find ourselves.
