A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Academic Experiences of African International Graduate Students Abroad| Chapter 8 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 2

 The purpose concerning this chapter search out investigate the experiences of two worldwide graduate students from Africa (male = 1, female = 1) as they adopt campus life at a Mid-Western public U.S. academy where they were out for graduate degrees. Establishing social connections, particularly accompanying students from the host culture, is more among worldwide students’ major concerns. Through almost-structured meticulous interviews that were digitally recorded, phenomenological research was used to investigate the lived knowledge of African students and discover each one of their voices. The information was written, coded, and stated thematically. Three key themes emerged: public contact, the role of ability as mediators, and active student partnership. Language proficiency and instructional systems were two other suitable discoveries that were fashioned. Despite not being shared by both things, these were pertinent to the study's aims. This research demonstrates that the experience of worldwide students in U.S. academy campuses is replete with educational, social, relative, work-related and linguistic challenges. The judgments have implications for internationalization of instruction globally.
