Research title: Adaptation of learning behaviour in international students: A case study
of Kings Own Institute
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The research project is presented to discuss about the concepts of learning behaviour
adaptation among the international students considering the educational institution named
Kings Own Institute in Australia. There are many students from various educational
institutions from all over the world, who come to this Australian educational institute to learn
and study and progress in their career to reach new heights of success much more
comprehensively (Liyanage and Gurney 2017).
1.1 Research background
With the rise of globalisation and management of business activities from the global
context, the educational institutions have facilitated the internationalisation standards so as to
reach globally and acquire students from all over the world, who can study and learn through
adaptation of learning behaviours in Kings Own Institute, Australia. It is also evident that
because of the rise in globalisation, many of the students from all over the world have
travelled far away and reached United Kingdom and Australia to get admission in the
colleges and Universities there for advancing in their career (Wang and Ocean 2016). Thus,
to ensure choosing these places as major hotspots for education, it is also necessary for them
to adapt the learning behaviours, thereby, become accustomed with the language and culture
and also consider the other factors that are required to progress in their career by pursuing
studies and educational benefits from the international institution (Hoang and Tran 2017).

1.2 Research problem
The problem of research mainly highlights the issues and problems that are
experienced by the international students due to some language barriers and cultural
differences while relocating to some other country to pursue educational facilities and learn
about new things. Due to some, sometimes, the differences in language and culture contribute
to the problematic situations for the international students from outside nations such as Nepal
or Japan to study in Australia (Jindal-Snape and Rienties 2016). So for dealing with the
issues, the adaptation to the learning behaviours of the Kings Own Institute in Australia is
needed to be done for progressing in the career as well as gain professional growth all
throughout (Phillips and Schweisfurth 2014).
1.3Research aim
The research aims to determine as well as examine the different learning behaviours
that are associated with the international students who come to visit Australia for learning
purposes from Nepal or Japan. The research aim also demonstrates about how and why the
international students, while studying in Australia, manage to fulfil their goals and objectives
to learn and contribute to the academic benefits that can be attained from the Kings Own
Institute in Australia (Rienties and Jindal-Snape 2016). There are different factors that are
needed to be assessed as well, as part of the research, for overcoming the issues that may be
faced by the students while travelling to some foreign location to study and make progress.
By understanding the needs of the international students, Kings Own Institute in Australia
can also aim at improving the academic services for making sure that the students can easily
adapt to the learning behaviours and overcome the cultural and language differences to study
peacefully without any further issues that might be experienced in the due time (Hamid et al.
2016).

1.4 Research objectives
 To identify the learning experiences of the international student groups from Nepal
and Japan while studying at Kings Own Institute in Australia
 To evaluate the various aspects related to how the international students learning at
Kings Own Institute in Australia need to adapt to the learning behaviours effectively
 To assess the impact of educational o academic services provided by the Institute on
the adaptation of learning behaviours by the students
 To recommend necessary measures about how the cultural and language differences
can be overcome and Kings Own Institute in Australia could resolve those properly
1.5 Research questions
 What are the various factors responsible for impacting the learning transition among
the international students visiting Kings Own Institute in Australia to learn and
progress in their career?
 How and why the international student groups from Nepal and Japan need to adapt the
learning behaviours for meeting their study requirements in Australia?
 How does the cultural and language barriers contribute to significant gaps in assisting
the international students while learning in Kings Own Institute, Australia?
 What suitable measures are recommended for Kings Own Institute to improve the
academic and educational services and enhance the learning for the international
students?
1.6 Justification of research
With the increase in globalisation and development of various activities globally, the
education sector has always tried to bring in something new and deliver great quality
education services for meeting the needs of international students who have visited Australia
to study at the educational institution from Nepal, Japan and other nations. UK and Australia

have become the major destinations where people visit not only for pursuing their career
goals and objectives and make sure to progress in their academic as well as professional
career with much ease and efficiency (Tran and Pham 2016). Thus, the organisation has also
aimed at fulfilling the industry’s long term goals or imparting educational services and ensure
meeting future prospects by making the international students to adapt to the learning
behaviours, thereby, allow the organisation to remain sustainable in nature too (Miller and
Petriwskyj 2013).
There are certain academic benefits as well such as the enhancement of ability of the
educational institution and also facilitating the international education so as to ensure
proposition of value and target the audiences from all over the world much more effectively.
It would also help in learning the new language as well as the culture, thereby, acquire
necessarysoft skills and create exposure to the international market, though at the same time,
ensure that the skills and abilities of individuals are in accordance with the legal laws, rules
and regulations implemented within the educational institution (Johan and Rienties 2016).
The awareness of cross cultural awareness is also important benefit within the academic field,
which could also help in adapting to the learning behaviours, cultural skills and competencies
furthermore. The students would be able to acquire industrial competency and at the same
time, benefit the policymakers, as they would be able to change the policies related to the
management of educational services internationally too (Shafaei and Razak 2016). The policy
makers also gain some additional sources of income, based on which, they develop and
implement immigration policies along with the cross cultural policies so as to contribute to
the overall educational consistency within the Australian educational sector properly.
1.7 Method summary
The research methodology is one of the most important chapters of the research where
the research philosophy has been demonstrated and the research must include qualitative data

and information too. The semi structured and interview based data and information should
also highlight the importance of managing proper collection of qualitative data and
information properly too. The research designs, sampling method and also the ethical
considerations should be made along with the targeted population and maintenance of
validity and reliability are critical for conducting the research appropriately (McKay, O’Neill
and Petrakieva 2018).
1.8 Scope
It is a universal truth that the language and culture in the different country differs, due
to which, the international students coming from outside Australia might face certain issues
related to language barriers and cultural differences. Thus Kings Own Institute in Australia
needs to align with the needs of the international students while delivering academic services
so as to maintain proper values, ethics and responsible behaviours for keeping students
engaged and make them influenced to study at the educational institution much more
comprehensively (Makhmutova et al. 2018). Certain factors are needed to be considered as
well as such as the values, beliefs, culture, language and also the various activities within the
education industry that could allow the organisation to meet the needs of international
students and ensure that they feel interested and highly engaged to become a part of the
organisation. Thus the research scope is expanded, which also creates scope for conducting
research on the similar subject in the future as well with accuracy and reliability (Aryani,
Rais and Wirawan 2017).
Chapter 2: Literature review
The literature review section demonstrates the data and information associated with
the research and also about how the learning experience of the international student groups
have been facilitated with the adaptation of learning behaviours and for meetingthe needs of
theirs while pursuing their career in Australia. The educational institution must ensure
