Abstract | This guide provides ideas and suggestions that might assist in the design and implementation of orientation programs for new foreign students at U.S. universities. An introduction discusses the various constraints which hinder the effectiveness of foreign student orientation programs and ways for overcoming those constraints. The second part discusses the goals of initial orientation for foreign students; various topics which should be considered and covered during an orientation, including information about practical matters, such as housing, communication and immigration; basic considerations in designing the orientation program and means of furnishing material and experiences; various personnel who should be involved in the orientation; budgeting and financial support for foreign student orientation programs; and program evaluation. Planners of orientation programs are advised to keep their expectations at a modest level since the outcomes of such programs are virtually impossible to assess with accuracy. A 17-item annotated bibliography is provided. (LPT) |
