| Abstract | In recent decades, there are increasing number of Asian students who choose to study abroad. The article addresses the academic needs and learning difficulties of a group of newly arrived non-English speaking background (NESB) Asia-Pacific students who registered to study a Bachelor of Education (in-service) program in an Australia Tertiary Institution. Funded and supported by an equity grant, a learning support program was set up to allow these NESB students to share among them their experiences in academic needs and learning difficulties. The outcome revealed a need to provide mentoring assistance to the newly arrived NESB students in the areas of academic and social support in order to enable them to adapt quickly to a new and different social-educational environment. |
