Struggling with Remote Learning as International Students? Listen to What Experts Have to Say. (Copy)
This is another semester of remote learning for international students due to COVID-19.
About a month into this semester, are you feeling the impact of remote learning on your level of focus, school performance, academic motivation, and overall well-being?
Recently I hosted a webinar on International Student Remote Learning Support with The Asian American Psychological Association and The American Psychological Association - Counseling Psychology Division. We invited a panel of experts to address some of the top challenges experienced by many international students in the U.S.:
Blurred boundaries between school life and personal life
Decreased academic motivation
Difficulty staying focused when attending remote classes
Time difference - attending remote classes from outside of the U.S.
Feeling of isolation - How to cultivate a community of belonging and togetherness for international students
For colleges and school professionals - How to best support international students experiencing these challenges
Watch the webinar video below to find out how you can better manage stress and issues that come with remote learning.
