Education.

My article is called “International students: can we do more to welcome them?” The article u can read here. The title of this article is the question. I think that this problem is very urgent not only in foreign countries, but in Russia, too. Indeed, this is a very  urgent problem in our university, because we have a lot of foreigners who, I think, has problems as it describes in this article.

This article was printed in Guardian Professional paper. The main topic of this item is “Do foreigners have any problems when they come to foreign universities, and how can students communities or social programs help them?” We can read here, that most problems for international students are: “new surroundings, new peers and a high level of academic expectation”. And this problems are actual everywhere. There is the question before teachers: “What really is the best way to make international students feel welcome and settled in?”The author of this article calls us that some universities try to develop programs which help international students to join the university community.  There are University of Edinburgh Warwick. We can read the opinion of Chinese student Xin Qu, who talks that it’s very difficult for her to leave home, to move into foreign country and to join in the internal society. It’s her challenge.

Fadi Dakkak noticed that there are a lot of problems which consists with the main big problem. And, first of all, there is a “cultural differences”. The blogger writes in this article that "It's not just Chinese students who don't mix – Brits also tend to stick together." I think that the first thing, that teachers and people who are accountable for international cooperation or exchange must do, is to unite young people. It will be more easy for them to study and to live with other young people, if they feel some supporting, for example. It’s very difficult for international young students to live abroad, far away from home, and it’s correct that such programs are developing. I think that such problems as loneliness and fear young students before uncertainty of university life will disappear in the nearest future.
That's my opinion about this important, I'm sure, problem. And I want to ask you: 
1.what would you do, if you were in shoes of a teacher? 
2.what would you do when you become a teacher and there will be the situation with international students? 
Your opinion is very important=)
