Hidden Academic Failure: The Course Experience of International Graduate Students in Japan

Abstract

More attention should be given to international graduate students enrolled in Japanese Universities. This study investigated the course experience of six international graduate students at one top Japanese University with PAC analysis and semi-structured interviews. As a result, international graduate students still have many challenges and dissatisfaction in their course-learning experience. The challenge and dissatisfaction in international graduate students' course experience could be listed as impractical syllabus, limited choice, impractical course content, inappropriate pedagogy, language barrier, unpleasant collaborative learning, useless assignment, barely feedback, and unclear assessment standard.
