1. Introduction
Research title
The study title of this concern is to examine the issues faced by International
Students in Australia.
Questionnaire justification
The International student faces many challenges due to different language, culture,
and social barrier. In Australia, it is quite typical for a student to adopt a new tool for
dealing with a new culture of people and reach a reliable conclusion. In Australia, it is
totally normal for students coming from other countries to feel totally separated when
they confront another culture way (Farley, et al.,2015). It is addressed that language
is being a major concern in the current era as it could create a problem for the
organization to meet the organizational task. It is illustrated that the English language
is the benchmark of starting a study or enrolled in student. At the time of talking
about language, English is its first language but the international student might be
not familiar with this language. It will affect the behavior of international students.
It is illustrated that one of major concern which is faced by international students
consist of the different changes that student requisite of the implement with respect
to obtain familiarized to socio-cultural components which are emphasized within
Australia territorial boundaries.
It is illustrated that student that enrolled themselves in the educational schools that
are inactive in the Australian country could face greater problems in the issues which
are associated with the cultural components which could be implied in Australia
(Ahmad, 2015).
The student usually faces problems caused by a sudden modification that they faced
in cultural surroundings, which are presented in Australia than the cultural
surroundings, which they have been confronting in the territorial boundaries of its
regional states. This barrier could directly impact on the organizational performance.
The language barrier is another imperative factor that affected the international
student. In addition, it is illustrated that territorial boundaries are being a major
concern in the current era as it affects the international business to confidently
studying in the organization. In addition, it is examined that the student who desires
to enroll herself in the education system of Australia has needed to take a part of the
International English Language Testing System with respect to meet the qualification

BUSINESS RESEARCH 4
for attending the particular courses in the universities which have been located in the
Australian territorial boundaries (Akanwa, 2015).
From the collected information, it is founded that there are many students who get
enrolled in the invectives of Australia but faced issues related to the English
language because of the teaching medium. There is a number of the person who
enrolled in the Australian universities could without any test that could create
problems for them to effectively complete their study in Australia. It could also affect
the marks. Hence it can be evaluated the person who wants to be part of the
Australian universities needed to be part of Australian English test before enrolling in
the universities. It can also be stated that most of the universities have not used the
Australian Standard English that could also create the difficulty for the international
student to complete for their study (Banjong, 2015).
The education expectation could be another imperative concern that is faced by the
student of Australia as it could be referred to the higher cost of living in the country.
From the evaluation of data, it is found that the cost of living in Australia for the
international al student is higher as compared to other counties at could be a major
concern for the student (Choudaha, 2017).
2. Research Methodology
With respect to this study, the research methodology is a vital aspect that is used to
identify different research tools that are practiced for evaluating research methods to
conduct this study. In the study, the methodology can be a vital perspective that aids
the investigator to increase their depth understanding towards research tools that
meet the aim of the study. From the application of this study, this tool is practiced to
perform the study in a reliable way. It assists the investigator to get feasible
information in the context of the study issue. It could be imperative in meeting the
research purpose. It could consider many sources named as data evaluation tool,
research philosophy, research strategy, data collection, data evaluation analysis,
and data evaluation techniques. It could support the investigator to get suitable
information by identifying the issues of study in an appropriate way (Farley, et al.,
2015).
2.1 Research design
In this research, many research techniques are practiced to identify diverse research
techniques in making the decision about research matter. The descriptive research
design is more preferred as compared to another method as it allows to evaluate the

BUSINESS RESEARCH 5
relationship between variables. It would also support the research scholar to develop
a theory with respect to the research matter by collecting the responses of the
research candidates. The research design facilitates the investigator to develop
theories towards the research matter. The research would be liable to get accurate
information in the context of issues faced by an international student at the time
studying in Australia. This method will lead the investigator to examine the different
characteristics of the individual. For conducting this study the researcher will not
imply the causal and effect method as there is no need for evaluating the effects and
cause. It is addressed the descriptive research design is practiced to make accuracy
in research result (Gautam, Cet al., 2016).
2.2 Research methods
The researcher is used in diverse approaches to accomplish the research aim (Guo
and Guo, 2017). With respect to this study, the researcher has practiced the survey
through questionnaire method that facilitates the get direct responses in favor of the
research matter. This method is more reliable as compared to the case study
method.
This tool will assist to provide a path to the team for the meeting our task. With
respect to evaluate the issues of international student, the investigator will imply this
tool and meet the research matter. This tool is effective in evaluating the study
matter due to getting a suitable conclusion in the context of the concern (Kumar,
2019).
2.3 Research approaches
The deductive approach is practiced over the inductive approach for conducting this
study. The deductive approach will allow developing the research hypothesis on the
basis of collected information and facilitated to approve and reject the hypothesis
accordingly.
2.4 Data collection method
For conducting this study, primary and secondary data collection method will be
applied by the researcher. The primary data collection method is also effective to get
the first-hand data, which could be essential to meet the study task. The secondary
data evaluation is also an imperative technique, which practiced for getting the data
from existing sources named as articles, books, online and offline sources. It aids to
meet the research purpose in a suitable way. In this, the primary data gathering tool
is practiced to evaluate the data by entailing survey through a questionnaire. This

BUSINESS RESEARCH 6
technique assists the research scholar for directly communicating with the research
candidates who desire to become a research part for sharing their experience
towards the research issue. The investigator will share their perception of the
challenges faced by international students (Mackey and Gass, 2015).
The research will consider many sources at the time of getting the data by existing
information named as books, journals, articles, and magazines, and offline source. It
will aid to meet the research in a systematic manner. This tool will allow entailing the
statistical and conceptual information about the study. These techniques could aid
the investigator to meet the study effectively. The primary, as well as secondary data
collection, will assist to get the qualitative as well as quantitative information with
respect to the research matter. The data gathering tool could also maintain the
quality of the research outcome (Silverman, 2016).

2.6 Sampling method and sample size
Sampling is a technique that might assist to choose suitable samples to collect
reliable data in the context of research matter (Flick, 2015). In this, the simple
random sampling technique is used as it aids to get the data in favor of the concern.
From the application of this tool, the researcher will be able to select the research
candidates to conduct the study and meet the research purpose. The chosen people
entailed as the sample size that could be entailed to get feasible information towards
the research matter (Alvesson and Sköldberg, 2017).
In addition to this, there are certain elements, which are considered in the non-
probability convince sampling tool to select the suitable sample size named as age,
gender, education, region, race, and experience. This method could create biases in
the study. It will also affect the overall productivity of the organization. This method of
sampling could create biases in the study that will decline the accuracy of the
research outcome. The convince sampling could be completed and time-consuming
as compared to the probability sampling tool hence this study method will not usually
be considered by the researcher to conduct their study (Ledford and Gast, 2018).
This study will be conducted on the 100 international students who are part of the
Australian university and faces challenges at the time of the study. It will be effective

BUSINESS RESEARCH 9
in getting a positive response in favor of the concern. It will also assist to make are
the liable conclusion in the context of the study matter. This, it can be said that the
probability sampling tool is preferred as compared to the non-probability convince
sampling tool. Further, it is examined that, the probability sampling made the
trustworthiness and accuracy in the research outcome that could be imperative for
the study (Choy, 2014).
2.7 Data analysis
From the evaluation of many tools, it is founded that the researcher has considered
usually two kinds of data evaluation techniques after completing the data collection
process. In this study, the investigator practices quantitative data evaluation tools.
While the quantitative data evaluation tool will be practiced to examine the factual
information by entailing the Ms-Excel and SPPS software due to making an accurate
research outcome. It will also aid to get a favorable result (Jamshed, 2014). This
method will support to meet the purpose of study in an effective way.
Apart from this, the qualitative data evaluation could not be considered because this
method is could take higher time and expensive as compared to another method.
2.8 limitations of methods
In this study, there are certain elements, which are considered as the limitation
named as time, cost, and additional resources. This study requires a higher amount
of money that affect the overall outcome of the study. Further, the data collection
process will take the higher time that affects the outcome quality. It is quite typical for
me as well as my teammates to manage all tasks of classes along with conducting
the research. Thus, it is founded that such factors affect the overall outcome.
2.9 Ethical consideration
For conducting this study in an effective manner, a consent form will be considered
as it permits the researcher to secure all the confidential information that is shared
by the candidates will be kept secure. It would support to make transparent relation
between the researcher and research participants. Through the consent form, the
researcher will also ensure that the research will not be harmful to the environment.
3. Potential outcome (what you would expect to find)
This study will evaluate different challenges that are faced by an international
student at the time of enrolling in the Australian universities named as cultural,
social, and language. This research study will also suggest many strategies by which
the international student could eliminate such concern and focus on their study.

BUSINESS RESEARCH 10
These strategies would be related to participating in the International English
Language Testing System, change in the medium of teaching, and use cultural
management tool. This study will provide the application of using each tool and helps
to overcome the issues faced by the international student during enrolling in the
Australian universities.
4. Conclusion
The above interpretation depicted that international students face many issues that
are associated with the social, cultural, and language. It can be concluded that
language is major issues unable to the student to understand the study and
complete their task effectively. It can also be summarized that the student could use
the Australian language system test by which student cou9ld check their capability
before enroll for an Australian university. It would assist to decline in the level of the
start of student and increase their focus on study rather than another sector. It is also
founded that most of the teacher of Australia has not used normal English that could
afford to an international student to complete their study successfully. It can also be
illustrated that the descriptive research design method will be practiced to evaluate
the situation in-depth and make a reliable conclusion in favor of the concern.
