Research Highlights
Using a unique hybrid of Thematic Analysis and LDA Topic Modeling (TASAM-LDA), the study identifies four primary areas impacting student success:
- Academic: Uneven EMI delivery and linguistic hierarchies.
- Socio-Cultural: Identity negotiation and adaptation tensions.
- Institutional: A need for stronger formal support beyond peer networks.
- Well-being: The intersection of financial and health-related stressors.
