What is Professor Edward Johnson sometimes called by his students?
When students from other countries come to the United States ,they are sometimes shocked at the casualness in American college and university classes. For example, American professors do not dress up and they generally call students by their first names. Students can speak out in class, where they do not even need to raise their hands. In addition, in many schools, students can drink coffee, tea, juice, or soft drinks during classes.
Foreign students can usually get used to these differences easily. However, two examples of American casualness are very difficult for some foreign students to understand. First, students sometimes call their teachers by their first names. Instead of calling a teacher Mr. Smith or Professor Adams, they call them Tom or John. In some countries, it is not possible for students to" first name" their teachers. Second, American students sometimes criticize the ideas of their teachers. They might also give their teachers suggestions about changing something in the class. In many countries, students cannot openly criticize their teachers or classes.
Thus, some foreign students feel shocked, embarrassed, and uncomfortable in American classrooms. They have two choices. One, they can imitate the behavior of the American students. But in this case, they might feel uncomfortable and disrespectful. Two, they can continue to follow the customs from their home countries. But in this case,the American teachers and students might think that the foreign students are too formal or too quiet.
What is the solution to this problem? There is no easy answer. However, time will help to solve the problem, because foreign students will become accustomed to the new behavior.
