International students in Australia face several language difficulties, including having varied English proficiency levels, lacking confidence in speaking English, and being unaccustomed to active participation in class discussions. Their previous learning experiences in more passive and teacher-centered educational systems in countries like Asia contribute to struggles adjusting to English-speaking academic environments in Australia, where developing opinions and speaking up is expected. While existing research has described these language barriers, more investigation is needed into how students' prior learning experiences and beliefs about education influence the difficulties they experience.

One way to investigate more deeply international issues students are to test the influence of previous student learning experiences and their beliefs about learn. That is all and thank you
