Abstract Details

As the People’s Republic of China works to integrate a larger percentage of their minority population into higher education opportunities the number of minorities in university will continue to grow. Additionally, the necessity for these students to know English will also increase. This research uses a case study to examine ten minority women students in a Han majority university environment. Through extensive interviews, this research attempts to investigate the socio-cultural elements that influence their English classroom experience to better understand the pertinent challenges these women have to overcome. While this study has a narrow focus, these findings are relevant to the experiences of minority students in classrooms all over the world.
