Abstract An increasing number of international students, whose culture of teaching and learning practices are very different from UK students, are studying at British universities. This study investigates multicultural students’ preferences using two different teaching approaches in the 2009/2010 academic year, which is explained in the framework of this study. The study sample was two groups, a total of 34 students who were studying Japanese as a non-credited module. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected using questionnaires. The results showed that students’ preferences in teaching and learning appeared to be altered and influenced by the British educational culture regardless of students’ previous educational culture. In addition, the sample participants’ preference of teaching and learning are categorised into three types based on the framework of the study. Those who are in the teaching profession in a multicultural learning environment are encouraged to take consideration of students’ previous educational culture. It is suggested to incorporate teaching and learning practices from non-Anglophone countries to the Anglophone originated teaching approach to capture different preferences of multicultural students, reflecting global international characteristics of teaching and learning environments.

El presente trabajo persigue describir las necesidades educativas de los estudiantes con discapacidad en una unidad educativa de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas (Ecuador), y contrastar esta realidad definida a partir de su experiencia, con la exigida por el legislador ecuatoriano para la construcción de una educación constitucionalmente definida como del Sumak Kawsay. Se sigue una metodología cualitativa, y se aplica como técnica de recolección de datos la entrevista estructurada a seis estudiantes con distintas discapacidades según el Consejo Nacional de Discapacidad del Ecuador. Entre las conclusiones más relevantes se aprecia una aún incipiente cultura educativa inclusiva, preocupada principalmente por la estructura física más que en la integración de los distintos actores de la comunidad educativa; en especial, se aprecia una necesidad de fortalecer las funciones de los Departamentos de Consejería Estudiantil, así como la formación y apoyo del docente en cuanto al refuerzo de la relación de confianza con los estudiantes, identificación de sus necesidades particulares, y una apreciación del valor de aprendizaje de este colectivo como aderezo de una relación intercultural orientada a la inclusión educativa y al abandono del asistencialismo.ABSTRACTThe present study aims to describe the educational needs of students with disabilities in an educational unit in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas (Ecuador), and to contrast this reality defined from his experience with that demanded by the Ecuadorian legislator for the construction of an education constitutionally defined as Sumak Kawsay. A qualitative methodology is followed, and the structured interview is applied as a data collection technique to six students with different disabilities according to the National Disability Council of Ecuador. Among the most relevant conclusions, there is a still an incipient inclusive educational culture, mainly concerned with the physical structure rather than the integration of the different actors of the educational community. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the functions of the Student Counselling Departments, as well as teacher training and support in reinforcing the relationship of trust with students, identification of their particular needs, and an appreciation of the learning value of this group as an intercultural relationship oriented towards educational inclusion and abandonment of welfarism.
