COLLOCATIONS COMPETITION - And the winner is......








Collocations...which word goes with which word??????

International students experience major difficulties when they learn a new academic culture and therefore have problems meeting assignment deadlines and achieving successful study.
(Jo = 5)

When native speakers use informal language and unfamiliar non-verbal communication, an international student finds studying abroad one of the many major difficulties during an academic year and their path to successful study.
(Jo = 8)

Because they find a different education system and academic culture, students studying abroad have several major difficulties, such as, they don’t have suitable accommodation, they cannot understand informal language and native speakers, so non-verbal communication becomes more important for international students
(Sida = 9)


International students face major difficulties when they study in a different education system, learn a new academic culture during an academic year. They therefore study hard because they want to achieve successful study, especially when English language is their second language, and they want to study abroad, but do not know that there is an orientation week and do not know about their assignment deadlines.
(Magid = 5 + 4)


International students who are studying abroad under a new academic culture and education system have to pay a lot of individual attention to independent learning or they will meet major difficulties, as they cannot achieve successful study during the academic year just by using non-verbal communication and informal language when they are facing the native speakers.
(Simon = 12)

The major difficulties facing international students studying abroad is about language, that they must look for suitable accommodation, and instead of informal language they may use non-verbal communication to communicate with native speakers. International students therefore find that they need successful study and independent learning within a different education system based on Western academic culture. (Sparrow 7 +4)


One international student named Iris, who is studying abroad, has some major difficulties with a new education system, academic culture, independent learning and finding suitable accommodation. Another major difficulty is when Iris talks with a native speaker, who has been successful in her studies during an academic year, but Iris uses a lot of non-verbal communication and informal language. This makes her feel embarrassed. (Veronica 7 + 6)
