The Multilingual Students' Voyage Towards International Scale Settings: Challenges And Expectations.
(University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2021) Nesba, Asma .
The current study aims at tracking the social and academic linguistic performance of international students from three African countries studying in the Algerian universities. The early stage of involvement in a new different multilingual context can affect significantly the academic practices of international students. To get in-depth insights into this area of research a qualitative study during the academic year 2020/2021 was conducted at the universities of El-Oued and Annaba. Two data gathering tools were utilized, a questionnaire as well as a structured interview. The findings reveal that the students’ prior experiences as being members in small-scale multilingualism settings enabled them to adhere quickly to a larger multilingual scale. A cultural openness was also noticed among the host society when peer colleagues’ curiosity to know about the other different led them to be in close contact with international students
