16 Results of Focus group Interview Four overarching themes were consistently present throughout all steps in the phenomenological data analysis: Perception of online learning Perception of cultural differences Perceptions of SLA Perceptions of academic content acquisition
17 T1. Perceptions of Online Learning Likes: Don, 19: I have liked the luxury of learning at the comfort of my home. Dislikes: Emily, 23: I really don t like it when I ask a question and it takes a day or days for the professor to answer. Technology Competency: Frank,20: When I first took an online course, I had to become familiar with the computer system and the first week I missed an assignment because I did not know where to upload it. Time Management: Don, 19: It made me work faster and motivated me to do work on time.
18 T2. Perceptions of Cultural Differences Cultural Differences: Jennifer, 23: I find it difficult to communicate with the professor because I feel silly writing to someone I don't see. Lack of Cultural Responsive Teaching: Helen, 22: I felt that I could not understand others well, nor could I be understood by others. I prefer to take the classes where professors and students can meet and discuss. Age and Gender Differences: Catalina, 28: Yes, I feel like he was not culturally sensitive and responsive to me Bruno, 19: I have no complaints about any of my online professors.
19 T3. Perceptions of SLA Vocabulary: Abigail, 18 At the beginning was difficult because I didn t know the meaning of words. Reading & Writing: Helen, 22: I always have a dictionary with me at all times, especially when your classmates knew English and professor assume you knew English. Gabriela, 21: I write things in English that doesn t make any sense but I feel like they make sense in Spanish. Listening & Speaking: Don, 19: To speak in English is much harder because it has many difficult sounds to pronounce that are not the same as my own language.
20 T4. Perceptions of Academic Content Acquisition Learning Style: Jennifer, 23: I have learn that I learn better in person than online. Academic Achievement: I did ok, but I feel that I could have done better in a face-to-face class, online classes is more intensive.
21 Summary of Findings Overall, all of the participants agreed that both language and cultural differences presented challenges in online learning situations, and all reported that they avoided taking more than one online course at a time (i.e., or per semester) because of these challenges. In general, attitudes toward online learning tended to be more positive among participants with more: (a) proficient language skills, (b) online course experience, and (c) time spent in the United States.
22 Implications of findings The findings of this study noted the following theoretical implications: Academic Content Acquisition Second Language Acquisition Course Instructional Delivery Cultural Differences
23 Limitations The research study was a very focused and limited to: Data collection of 10 participants Single small private college Results cannot be generalized
24 Recommendations Future Research A more extensively study with larger population on the causes and effects of online learning on international ESL graduate and undergraduate students, who have come to the U.S. for education, while simultaneously or consecutively examining ways to eliminate or at least alleviate identified or perceived challenges and consequent stresses of online learning. Research should be conducted to investigate how international students transfer knowledge with the use of different technological applications as learning tools.
25 Recommendations Instructional Designers should anticipate and consider the possibility of cultural differences in students, and Incorporate diversity and cultural understanding into lesson plans. Audio and visual features of online learning technology could be more usefully employed in order to foster ESL listening and speaking skills. Syllabi should be detailed to include schedules for assignments, suggestions, and other information to help with time management.
26 Recommendations Online Instructor Should Instructor should provide information and direction for learning technology Instructor should also remind all students in an online course to use standard English at all times Encourage students posting of photographs and other benign personal information at the beginning of the course Allow students to journal online when possible Provide alternative forms of communication and opportunities to meet in person when needed and feasible.
27 Recommendations Administrator Determine when it would be recommendable for an international student to take their first online course Closely monitor the number of online courses these students are allowed to take in a given semester Continue to promote cultural diversity awareness and provide opportunities for students, faculty and the administration to build a culturally responsive community
