Abstract

This paper discusses the experiences of East Asian students (n = 40) taking a full time Master’s course at a University in the UK from 2004 - 2005. A mixed methods case study approach was taken with data gathered through three rounds of questionnaire surveys of the whole group and a further three rounds of interviews carried out with a broadly representative sample (n = 8) over the course of a year. The experiences of these students were examined under three interconnected themes: language, socio-cultural environment and academic culture. This paper reports on how participants described the strategies they used for developing their language skills, in both everyday use and academic contexts. These strategies involved independent private study, acting on feedback from more knowledgeable others and participation in groups or social activity. The paper suggests that a mix of strategies can be effective for language learning.
