ABSTRACT International students encounter challenges while transitioning into a new environment with unfamiliar academic and social expectations. The situation is especially complicated for international dual-diploma students, who complete certain parts of their undergraduate education in their home and host countries. Challenges faced in communication in academic and social contexts doubled by meeting the course requirements in the new academic environment creating pressure for international dual-diploma students. This paper explores how Turkish international dual-diploma students’ academic experiences are influenced during their first semester of study in the USA by their previous language learning experiences back in their home country. It reports on findings from a qualitative study which employed a case study methodology to explore the influence of prior language learning experiences on academic life in the USA. Data was collected through in-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 15 Turkish international dual-diploma students, three American professors, seven American English instructors and four American teaching assistants. Findings indicate that Turkish international dual-diploma students’ language learning experiences in primary and secondary education as well as higher education in Turkey have a significant influence on their academic experiences in the USA. This influence is manifested in students’ listening, speaking, academic writing and reading skills, respectively.

以不同的声音在美国的先前学习经历和学术生活:以土耳其国际双文凭学生为例

摘要国际学生在过渡到陌生的学术和社会期望的新环境时会遇到挑战。对于国际双文凭学生而言,情况尤其复杂,他们在本国和所在国完成了部分本科教育。通过满足新的学术环境中的课程要求,在学术和社会环境中交流中面临的挑战增加了一倍,这给国际双文凭学生带来了压力。本文探讨了土耳其国际双年级文凭学生在美国学习的第一学期期间,如何受其在祖国的先前语言学习经验的影响。它报告了定性研究的结果,该研究采用了案例研究方法来探讨先前的语言学习经验对美国学术生活的影响。通过与15名土耳其国际双文凭学生,三名美国教授,七名美国英语教师和四名美国助教进行的深入面对面半结构化访谈,收集了数据。调查结果表明,土耳其国际双文凭学生在土耳其的初等和中等教育以及高等教育中的语言学习经历对其在美国的学习经历具有重大影响。这种影响分别体现在学生的听力,口语,学术写作和阅读技能上。通过与15名土耳其国际双文凭学生,三名美国教授,七名美国英语教师和四名美国助教进行的深入面对面半结构化访谈,收集了数据。调查结果表明,土耳其国际双文凭学生在土耳其的初等和中等教育以及高等教育中的语言学习经历对其在美国的学习经历具有重大影响。这种影响分别体现在学生的听力,口语,学术写作和阅读技能上。数据是通过与15名土耳其国际双年级学生,三名美国教授,七名美国英语讲师和四名美国助教进行的深入面对面半结构化访谈而收集的。调查结果表明,土耳其国际双文凭学生在土耳其的初等和中等教育以及高等教育中的语言学习经历对其在美国的学习经历具有重大影响。这种影响分别体现在学生的听力,口语,学术写作和阅读技能上。研究结果表明,土耳其国际双文凭学生在土耳其的初等和中等教育以及高等教育中的语言学习经历对其在美国的学习经历具有重大影响。这种影响分别体现在学生的听力,口语,学术写作和阅读技能上。调查结果表明,土耳其国际双文凭学生在土耳其的初等和中等教育以及高等教育中的语言学习经历对其在美国的学习经历具有重大影响。这种影响分别体现在学生的听力,口语,学术写作和阅读技能上。
