Foreign Student Advisers and Learning With Foreign Students.
Mestenhauser, Josef A.; Barsig, Dietmar
Addressed to foreign student advisers, this brochure presents the view that the changing times, domestically and internationally, suggest that foreign students are needed here for the education of our own students. It outlines a method by which foreign student advisers and others working with foreign students can provide such learning opportunities for college credit, thus establishing themselves as persons who provide direct education for students in addition to supportive services. A massive expansion of existing programs is advocated so that intercultural learning can be available to a large group of students and faculty. The program "Learning with Foreign Students" was developed at the University of Minnesota and is described as an example of an intercultural learning program. Objective of the program, reactions of students to the pilot program, and methods of implementation are discussed. (SPG)
