Abstract
This research is to compare the teaching/learning styles/methods between Asian and European high schools, and to determine the styles and methods that are more effective for the teaching and learning of English. The purpose of this study is to examine the English language instruction of international college students in non-English speaking countries. The following research question was addressed: How does the high school English language instruction of Asian and European students differ? The participants for this study were approximately 320 international students at a major university in the western United States. These participants included full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate students. The participants studied English as a second language or a foreign language in their secondary schools before coming to the United States. This research gives English language teachers tips on effective teaching of non-native English speakers.
