Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The internationalization of higher education has led to the influx of Chinese international students in Canada. Much of the literature on this subject has focussed on the factors that drive them to Canada, their academic learning experiences, and the impact of North American stereotypical constructions of “Chinese learners” on their English language learning. This paper is based on a narrative study investigating the mobility, English learning and test-taking experiences of ten Chinese international students, and the complex connections among their past and present experiences and imagined futures. Informed by theories on globalization, neoliberalism, and Bourdieu’s concepts of social power, in particular, on sanctuary, this paper presents selected findings relating to the paradoxes and dilemmas of the student experiences of leaving China for their higher education, imagining a better future.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
