The author, Dr Eunice Okorocha, completed her PhD research at the Department of Educational Studies of Surrey University, England. She is the author of: Supervising International Research Students (SRHE 1997 and 2007), Crossing Cultures (Transfiguration Press 2004), Cultural Issues in Working with International Students (Abramis Academic Publishing, UK 2010), Counselling International Students (Abramis 2010) and International Students' Experience in UK Higher Education (Abramis 2010). Working with International Students in Higher Education is a research based summary of the views of academic and non academic staff that work with International Students. Amongst those interviewed were academic staff including Personal Tutors and Supervisors, accommodation staff, Chaplains, English language staff, Library staff, International Students Officers, Welfare Officers, and a Student Union Officer. The staff interviewed all identified the academic, cultural, social, religious, language and communication difficulties faced by International Students as well as exposing issues that create barriers in working with them. Based on the experiences of those interviewed, the author makes recommendations to Higher education Staff, especially to Personal Tutors, Supervisors, Heads of Departments and Institutional Management. These recommendations are made with a view to providing a better understanding of what is involved in working with Students from other cultures and academic systems, and are aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the staff that work with them.
