Siri's Research results_Discussion and Conclusion(tentative language,passive,various vocabularies)

Discussion

The purpose of the research was to investigate whether there is any difference between the sorts of problems between men international student and women international student. The findings revealed some significant issues. The respondents claimed that biggest problems were financial and visa issues (Figure 1). It is somewhat interesting that a few number of male respondents were noted in this problem (3, compared to 9 of women).This might possibly indicate a women tendency for expressing open-talk among interviewers more comfortable than men or perhaps in term of funding issue women generally spend more expenditure for shopping(clothes, accessories, others) higher than men.

Contrary to expectations, the research not found a significant important problem in male group but, almost thirty percent of the male respondents agreed with statement that they felt very dissatisfied by living in the UK. This could mean men have a positive point of view about problems or appears to suggest a need for further study to find out why male students felt very dissatisfied for staying in the UK.

With regard to the quality of pre-sessional study at London Metropolitan University it is interesting to note that more than a third of women agreed with statement that they felt very dissatisfied with quality of study. This may well mean that they are not used to the British style of education or could be a lack of British educational information.

Conclusion

The research results carried out key significant problems for international students. The most important issues of the students have been facing with funding and visa issues while these problems higher among women. The findings indicated that accommodation and language were universal problems. However, it seems to be the female students concerned about health care whereas the male students stated that opening bank account was their concern. As expected, the results shown a high percentage of satisfaction with living in the UK, quality of study and quality of staffs. In term of further research it is interesting if the University would like to find out why one in five of the international students thought that the quality of study was not very satisfied and may possibly find out a good solution for improvement
