Scene 4

Surveys/questionnaires to gather data on challenges faced, academic performance, and utilization of support services. Statistical analysis is used  to identify trends and associations. Sampling strategy: Random sampling from multiple universities across Canada to ensure diversity.

Focus group discussions or interviews to gain in-depth insights into specific challenges and coping strategies. Thematic analysis is used to identify recurring themes and patterns in qualitative data.

[Audio] SAMPLE STRATEGY AND DATA COLLECTION SAMPLE STRATEGY Stratified random sampling from major Canadian universities, targeting international students from diverse backgrounds. DATA COLLECTION Interviews were conducted in-person or via video conferencing, and surveys were administered online with validated scales measuring stress, cultural adaptation, and satisfaction. 

Scene 5

Stratified random sampling from major Canadian universities, targeting international students from diverse backgrounds.

Interviews conducted in-person or via video conferencing, and surveys administered online with validated scales measuring stress, cultural adaptation, and satisfaction

[Audio] HYPOTHESIS AND VARIABLES HYPOTHESIS International students face significant challenges related to cultural adaptation, academic workload, financial constraints, and social integration VARIABLES Independent variables include cultural background, program of study, and length of stay; dependent variables encompass stress levels, academic performance, and overall satisfaction. 

Scene 6

International students face significant challenges related to cultural adaptation, academic workload, financial constraints, and social integration.

Independent variables include cultural background, program of study, and length of stay; dependent variables encompass stress levels, academic performance, and overall satisfaction.

[Audio] HYPOTHESIS Primary Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: No significant differences exist in challenges faced by international students from different cultural backgrounds in Canada. Alternative Hypothesis: Significant differences exist in challenges encountered by international students from different cultural backgrounds in Canada. Secondary Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: Language proficiency has no significant impact on the overall well-being or mental health of international students in Canada. Alternative Hypothesis: Higher language proficiency among international students is associated with better mental health and well-being outcomes.. 

Scene 7

PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS  H0 (NULL HYPOTHESIS): THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE CHALLENGES FACED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS SUGGESTS THAT FACTORS SUCH AS CULTURAL DIVERSITY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION DO NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE EXPERIENCES OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.  H1 (ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS): SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE CHALLENGES FACED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS PROPOSES THAT CULTURAL DIVERSITY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE THE EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.
 SECONDARY HYPOTHESIS  H0 (NUL HYPOTHESIS): LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY DOES NOT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE OVERALL WELL-BEING AND MENTAL HEALTH OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS SUGGESTS THAT LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND PROFICIENCY LEVELS DO NOT HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES SUCH AS STRESS, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION.  H1 (ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS): INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WITH HIGHER LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY EXPERIENCE BETTER MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OUTCOMES. THIS HYPOTHESIS PROPOSES THAT LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN REDUCING STRESS AND ENHANCING OVERALL WELL-BEING AMONG INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS.

These tests offer a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing international students' experiences in Canada.. 

Scene 8

Statistical Test: Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modeling to examine relationships between variables and identify predictors of student difficulties. These statistical tests will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing international student’s experiences in Canada.

[Audio] LIMITATIONS Possible issues include response bias, small sample size limitations, and challenges in achieving participant diversity.finding a diverse group of participants. FUTURE RESEARCH Use long-term studies to track changes in student experiences, compare with other countries, and evaluate interventions to improve support services. services.. 

Scene 9

Potential biases in self-reporting, limited generalizability due to sample size, and challenges in accessing a diverse participant pool.

Longitudinal studies to track changes in student experiences over time, comparative analyses with other countries, and intervention evaluation to enhance support services.

[Audio] CONCLUSION Understanding and addressing the difficulties faced by international students in Canada is essential for promoting diversity, equity, and student success in higher education..
