- W2292845729 abstract "1. Background We have an increasing number of students at Australian universities whose first language is not English. The English courses which many of these students take before being admitted are frequently inadequate for the study of technical subjects such as statistics which have a language of their own. Very little work has been done on the precise difficulties experienced by overseas students and how these difficulties could be alleviated. This paper discusses some of these problems which arise in first level university statistics courses and suggests some appropriate responses. In general these suggestions would probably benefit all students, not only those from overseas. I will begin with a quote from the report by Ellerton and Clements (1989) about teaching post-secondary mathematics to students who do not have English as their fxst ~~~guage. 16. The Language of Instruction. About one-half of the Questionnaire respondents drew attention to the plight of students at their institutions who were attending mathematics lectures given in English but who did not have English as their first language. In several countries (e.g. Papua NewGuinea) English is the third or fourth language for most students, and is rarely spoken outside lectures and tutorials, despite the fact that it is also the language of instruction in schools. In some countries (e.g. India) English is the language of instruction at universities but not in most secondary schools. In other countries (e.g. in Australia and in the United Kingdom) there is an influx of foreign students (who have attended schools in their home countries) into first-year university classes, and often these students have difficulty with the style of English used by their lecturers (even if they have attended English language schools at home). Several respondents indicated that students learning mathematics in their first" @default.
