Foreign Students and Pygmalion

In the course I teach to foreign students there is a high degree building confidence in the students to be able to achieve the results expected. Are they any other techniques that get foreign students motivated?

Use of Case Studies as a demonstration of learning

I teach foreign students in foreign countries and use Case Studies created by the students to demonstrate what they have learned in the course. This seems to be effective based on the results experienced.

Testing

Make sure tests a valid and reliable. Many of our tests are created for our deparment, and they do not always measure the content. I have to either supplement the course material or delete the question from the test.

Styles of Learning

I love it when students first realize what style of learning they prefer. It awakens them, and allows them to understand that there is nothing "wrong" with them. They realize that they are unique.

Greetings

Greet EVERY student daily...they will remember and RECOGNIZE you always if you remember them. Believe me, I have been in education for over 20 years and I have students stop me in malls, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. It's good to know that they remember you.

Planning and Preparation

When planning for class it's good to use Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's helps an instructor to make sure he or she is using the higher level thinking and instructional skills. Incorporating activities that use analysis, application, and evaluation are important for adult learners.
