#includEDau

@PennyRobaus Hi @PennyRobaus We won’t be running a chat this month. Things have become incredibly busy , both professionally and personally for us here @includEDau . We’ll get back to you soon in the coming weeks with an update. Take some time to relax, reflect and refresh. #includedau

I have in my calendar that 2nd Sunday of the month (13 Oct) is #includEDau @includEDau Twitter chat evening. Is that still correct? I haven't seen any tweets about the topic or anything yet.

Certainly a lot of benefits for international students, but also to their host families, schools, and communities. And likewise for any of our students studying abroad #includEDau

Thanks for chatting : ) Have a great month everyone, see you next time #includEDau

Q8 - Benefits, including for the hosts: families, schools communities, countries #includEDau

Another fact for you: The majority of international students in Australia are here for higher education, whilst primary and high schools host the fewest amount of students #includEDau

@JoPrestia They certainly are! Wanted to keep everything as open and broad as possible, and create some dialogue #includEDau

A7 wow these Qs are so loaded - for Ts & Ss I think cultural awareness is most important. If we can understand then we can act, modify, assist, support. #includEDau

Q7 - Skills #includEDau

Random fact: In 2018, the top 5 countries of origin for international students in Australia were China, India, Nepal, Brazil, and Malaysia #includEDau

Q6 - Considerations #includEDau

Q5 - Stereotypes #includEDau

@JoPrestia Ahahaha, well done! 876 399, if you're after an exact number #includEDau

here you go #includEDau

Q4 - Integration #includEDau

@PennyRobaus Google certainly is helpful! Based on the Department of Education & Training's data, the number is much higher! #includEDau

Am I allowed to resort to Google? ~510,000 international students in 2018 according to this SBS article. :O #includEDau Much MUCH higher than my guess!! sbs.com.au/language/engli…

Graduates: those who study with the aim of completing a high school diploma Study Abroad: Short term, up to one year Dependant: Have come over with their parents, who may be on work visas #includEDau

Q3 - Unique challenges #includEDau

@PennyRobaus Great question! Hopefully our Question Two helps you think about that definition #includEDau

For #includEDau chat, what's definition of "International Student" - one who is paying international fees at school or uni, or include students who are Australian citizens but with overseas ethnicity too?

Sorry, I meant to say higher than this! Ignore the previous comment... #includEDau

Q2 - Types of international students #includEDau

@JoPrestia Lower than that! #includEDau

Hiya #includEDau been a while but this topic caught my interest. I think we're close to 700, 000
