Project Title: Academic Acculturation: NESB Doctoral Students' Perceptions of Their Academic experience in New Zealand

The project investigated the major challenges non-native English speaking (NNES] doctoral students experienced in the process of academic acculturation in New Zealand universities. This study took a qualitative approach through in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten doctoral supervisors and twenty NNES doctoral students who were studying or had recently completed their doctoral studies in social science, humanities, and communication at New Zealand universities. The study found that the key challenges facing NNES doctoral students involved academic acculturation in the writing games, including norms and conventions, sets of rules, inconsistencies, ambiguities, mismatched expectations, formation of disciplinary identity, and advisor-advisee relationships. Most NNES doctoral students and supervisors believed that language, though an issue in academic acculturation, was not a major barrier as perceived by some other scholars. The study concludes that to be accepted into the academic community, NNES doctoral candidates need to understand the rules and conventions and skillfully play the writing games. Supervisors play a critical role in developing NNES doctoral candidates' skills in playing such games.

Project Title: Elderly Chinese Immigrants in New Zealand

This study examines the acculturative experiences, filial responsibilities and intergenerational communication between the elderly Chinese immigrants and their adult children in Wellington, New Zealand. Thirty-two elderly Chinese immigrants from mainland China participated in semi-structured interviews in late 2008 and early 2009. The study found that the levels of economic feasibility, acculturation and self-support for Chinese elderly immigrants determined the probability and desirability of living arrangements in the form of co-residence or independent living. Changes in economic and social status, roles, intergenerational boundaries and the changed socio-cultural environments challenged the Chinese traditional concept of filial piety and weakened the ties and bonds between the elderly migrants and their adult children. A large majority of the participants lived independently in state houses in spite of their old age, language and cultural barriers, social isolation, poor health and feelings of abandonment. Separate living arrangements and the effective government financial and housing support and services helped them regain their self-identity, self-worth, independence, and freedom to manage their own life, finance, and social activities. The study highlights the importance of care for the general wellbeing and the quality of life of the elderly Chinese immigrants in New Zealand.
