Abstract

The focus of the present chapter is on various problems related to teaching non-native speakers of English belonging to different cultural backgrounds, as well as on the solutions that instructors and curriculum makers can adopt in order to improve students' language performance. The chapter shows that the teaching strategies used during the English classes taught to international students are of great importance for the instructional process and problems related to cultural differences, students' learning behaviors that may be different from the instructors' expectations, and other aspects that may hinder the instructional process in general.
