| This collective case study explores international students' perspectives on learning culture within an academic English Language Program. A thematic analysis, of one-to-one interviews, reveals four main categories, in which culture learning occurred: in-class overt, in-class covert, out-of-class overt, and out-of-class covert. A fifth category examines the impact of travelling and experiences on the learning of culture, as well as, the participants' definitions of culture and Canadian culture. The participants' commentary spotlights the homestay program as providing opportunities for language socialisation. Promoting the homestay program, and increasing the resource materials available to English language instructors, are the key recommendations. |
