q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Participant-observer analysis of a first-year composition course for international students, drawing on interviews, observations, and Online Learning Records. Students from Mexico, Brazil, and India reported frequent class discussion at home, while an Indonesian student said people in Asia "kind of embarrassed ... or shy or something when asking a question in front of the all people".

"Those students accustomed to in-class questioning and discussions continued their previous practices, and those from less interactive backgrounds continued their practices, although they did slowly move toward more whole-class interaction due to the class setting's influence."
