“I tried out many activities in [my class] in which I had ONLY international students. The finding common ground introduction immediately resulted in a good connection and atmosphere. All students listened to each other, showed respect, and really try to help get better. It was an amazing semester and it was definitely because of their engagement and involvement. The [ISAI] activities really helped. ” 2020 participant
