| Many Eastern European students face hurdles in terms of language, adaptation, and cultural barriers in their pursuit of their academic goals. As the world continues to evolve through a world pandemic, educators and students are navigating through the realities of what "school" entails. The pandemic has challenged the notion of how traditional "school" operates and there are certain barriers that will require an adjustment at multiple levels within the institution to bolster instructors preparation and successfully integrate new instructional strategies not used in their pre-pandemic academic programs. cultural adaptability, linguistic nuances, and technological accessibility, and financial need, are coming to the forefront as academic institutions work toward providing effective systems for international instructor support. | |||
