Arab Students in a Hebrew University--Existing but Unnoticed
Halabi, Rabah
Intercultural Education, v27 n6 p560-576 2016
This article focuses on ways in which Arab students cope with challenges of integrating into the academic life of a Hebrew university in Israel. From this research we can learn that the students face considerable hardships during their university studies. Some of these hardships derive from language barriers. In addition, findings show that the Arab students face different forms of exclusion by the university. These create a sense of alienation, estrangement and even hostility.
