What language would international students choose to take notes in, English or their first language?7/3/2017 July 17th 2:30-2:45 pm Room 3004 For international students, note taking is an important part of studying in university. Thus, it is important for international students to take notes efficiently in class to ensure the efficiency of studying. Language choice of note taking is one way to help international students. Some research showed that do things in way people is proficient can enhance the efficiency. So, it might be a good way that international students to use their first language to take notes. However, there are reports pointed out that translation errors occur when there are background difference and knowledge difference, so, it is probably hard for international students to translate the content they learn in class from English to their first language within such urgent time. So, my research is to find out the balance point of language choice of note taking in class.
