I think for my students there's an expectation sometimes of recognition of prior skills and prior learning.
Many of our overseas students have previous qualifications, and not all of those are recognised in Australia ...
so there's an assumption that there's already a certain part of the degree that is assumed or the students think that they already know.
Obviously from the academic's point of view that's often the reverse.
Because students don't have that background of studies in Australia ...
they lack those foundational skills and skills they need to sort navigate through the process.
And I think the academic English is also a big hurdle for students to be albe to ...
write at a university level. I think that's ... there's a gap between what students assume that they know ...
and what's expected at the university level.
