    Enhancing International Student Success in Your Classroom: The LIONS Framework
    Tuesday, July 11, 10:00-11:00 AM
    Online
    Presenters: Xiaochen Liu and Tina Huey, CETL-Faculty Development

    Instructors and staff often face challenges supporting international students due to significant differences between US classrooms and those in students' home countries. Challenges such as language proficiency, interaction, and belonging, can impact teaching effectiveness and hinder students' academic success. This workshop equips instructors and staff with the LIONS framework (Language, Interaction, Openness, Name, and Social) to better support international students. Participants engage in interactive activities and discussions to understand these unique challenges and develop strategies for an inclusive classroom environment.
