“…Students should he encouraged to keep vocabulary notebooks or note cards (Brown, 2008;Malu & Figlear, 1998). They can also tape class lectures and listen multiple times (Brown) and make use of lecture outlines or handouts (Caputi, Engelmann, & Stasinopoulos, 2006;Sanner & Wilson, 2008). According to the Cummins model, ESL students may increase their English comprehension by explaining the nursing content they learn in their own language; they should he encouraged to study aloud or present content to family or friends who speak their native language (Abriam-Yago et al, 1999;Choi, 2005).…”

“…ESL students require extended testing time for reading and processing test items (Caputi et al, 2006;Lujan, 2008;Malu & Figlear, 1998).

CHAPTER 5. DISCUSSION, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The United States is becoming more ethnically and culturally diverse. 2008 U.S. Census Bureau statistics, as reported by Hansen and Beaver (2012) cite "nearly 37 percent of the U.S. population identified themselves as minority and greater than 55 million households have a first language other than English" (p. 166). Dass-Brailsford (2007) cite U.S. Department of Health and Human Services statistics (2005) "since 1975, the U.S. has resettled 2.4 million refugees. Since the enactment of the Refugee Act of 1980, the average number of refugees admitted annually is 98,000" (p. 226). Passel and Cohn (2008) indicate: The U.S. population is projected to grow by 117 million people between the years 2005-2050 due to the result of immigration. Of this increase, 67 million will be the product of direct immigration and 50 million will be their descendents (p. 1). Dass-Brailsford (2007) defines "refugee" according to the United Nations (U.N.) protocol "people outside their country of nationality who are unable or unwilling to return to their country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social or political group" (p. 226). Fairbairn and Jones-Vo (2010) define "immigrant" as "an individual who has permanently moved to a new country of their own accord" (p. 10). The magnitude of the changing demographics of the U.S. population is critically important to the healthcare industry from both a cost containment and a human respect perspective. "Cultural incompetence by healthcare providers can contribute to the additional difficulties endured by politically traumatized clients" (Dass-Brailsford, 2007, p. 230). In

AimThe aim of this study was to investigate nursing students' experiences of communication in a multilingual and multicultural clinical environment.BackgroundEffective communication in a healthcare setting plays a crucial role in patient care. Yet, since universities, globally, have experienced an increase in the enrolment of both local and international students in various degree programmes, student populations have become increasingly multilingual and multicultural. This study was conducted in a multilingual country where many languages are not spoken by all citizens, which results in nursing students experiencing varied outcomes.DesignA qualitative, explorative, descriptive research design was used.MethodsSixteen nursing students enrolled in either the Bachelor of Nursing Science (Clinical, Honours) or the Diploma in Nursing Science. Data were collected by means of in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with a sample of 16 nursing students who were selected through convenience sampling. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsThe study revealed four themes: aspects that complicate communication; interesting aspects about communication; the need for communication assistance; and the need for policy intervention, which is key to addressing challenges in multilingual clinical environments.
