1 THE FIRST MEETING IN CLASS
• The first meeting in class is very important in Australia.
• Missing the first meeting is a great loss

order to pass the unit/subject – explain kinds of assignments required
• Kinds of assignments: critical review and annotated bibliography

2 ADDRESSING LECTURERS
• Australians are proud of being ‘egalitarian’ in their behavior
• address their lecturers, academic staffs, administration staffs and librarians by their first names only and might not show as much respect as would be common in Indonesia
• Some lecturers unwilling to be addressed as ‘Mrs., Mr., Sir, or Teacher’

3 COMING LATE
• Highly unlikely for lecturers and students in Australia to come late in class
• He or she will directly give opening remarks or comments to get students’ attention
• If you come late:– Open and close the door slowly, – find the nearest seat and be quiet, – do not smile because it may offend your lecturer and
friends.

4 NOTE TAKING
• It is used to record and remember important points in tutorials and lectures.
• For some international students, note taking is hard to do (ability to listen, record and write quickly)
• To solve this problem:– use abbreviations, jargons, arrows, and symbols to
shorten their writing – summarizing and paraphrasing – , use tape recorder

5 GROUP DISCUSSIONS
• Teaching learning process in Australian universities is student-centered
• Students are expected to be active in giving opinions and sharing ideas with others.
• A lecturer usually divides students into groups in four or five. Each group member is responsible for explaining certain topic/s
• If you do not study before the class, you will not only be passive in class but also will be neglected by your friends

8 INDEPENDENT LEARNING
• Australians expect you to be independent
• You should not reluctant to ask your lecturers or other academic staffs for explanation or clarification if you find things unclear.
• students have to be able to solve their assignment problems independently because all materials and resources related to students’ tasks are relatively easy to access.

9 SOCIAL RELATIONS
• Social relations with other students and friends are very important
• Getting along with other Indonesian students is relatively no problem if you join organization/s formed by Indonesians
• Getting along with other international students and local students are also needed to widen our social relations, our perspectives about different languages and cultures, exchange simple language expressions and slangs
