Applying a critical and holistic framework, International Students
in Higher Education: Language, Identity, and Experience from a
Holistic Perspective explores the lived experiences of four
multilingual international students at a Canadian University.
Vander Tavares investigates how the students experience life in the
host community, construct their multiple identities, and develop
their proficiency in the English language. Additionally, Tavares
examines the ways in which the institutional context impacts the
students' experiences by foregrounding the voices of domestic
students, faculty and support staff, and their experiences and
perspectives on international students, multiculturalism, and
multilingualism. Drawing from theories of cultural and social
psychology, post-structuralism, multilingualism, and a
sociocognitive approach to second language acquisition, this
project presents rich ethnographic portraits of the students'
experiences. This contextualised and humanised portrayal of the
students' individual journeys challenges the prevailing discourse
of deficit that has traditionally been used to characterise the
multilingual international student experience. Overall, this book
demonstrates that an ethical understanding of multilingual
international students' experiences requires critical attention to
the sociocultural and sociolinguistic contexts of their academic
communities and a holistic approach that considers the multiple
domains of lived experience that the students navigate.
