Manual for International Students, A, Pearson Original Edition

This book is specifically aimed at helping international students who are either contemplating studying in Australia, have begun their studies or have been studying for some time. It will help these students learn various strategies to improve their study methods, overcome learning barriers and generally, to provide skills for future study, work and other aspects of their lives.

The book takes a holistic approach to students, emphasising their physical, mental and even emotional needs, and provides practical information to guide and support them. As such, it's intended as a resource more than just a textbook. Rather than providing self-help activities, students can learn by actually practicing the strategies outlined and spelled out under various headings in each chapter.

The chapters cover academic writing, referencing, studying for tests and exams etc., and includes chapters on motivation, goal-setting, time and stress management, oral presentations and listening skills. It even advises students about diet and exercise.
