Blog 1 College Helps Foreign Students Get Through to American Ears 8/30/2012



This article informs us about the struggles that foreigners who are studying and teaching in Ohio University go through daily. The main issue discussed in this article is about the difficulty that the Americans have with comprehending the foreign students and staff. The foreigners are constantly working to improve their speech to avoid challenging the ears of the Americans. Education is an important aspect globally. The majority of the material is the same worldwide just taught in different manners depending on the location. This shows the concern that the international students and faculty have with making it easy for the Americans to listen and understand. They are honestly trying their best to put themselves out there for the rest of the colleagues and students while they should also be putting their part in too. Not everything is based in the US; therefore, all ought to learn to appreciate other cultures. It is a good approach to try and improve their pronunciations, but the rest need to understand that it is part of being a foreigner. This should not be a problem. It is known that English is one of the top languages used in the world, so it is learned normally. The international students and faculty need to worry less about their form and speaking and simply make sure they are able to provide the material. Education is an important key to society and receiving it from a different tongue can help to bring excitement or interest in it. It could create curiosity towards people’s cultures and backgrounds and learn about what is out there internationally.
