- Description
- Supervision is central to the doctoral research training experience, and the effectiveness of supervision has been prioritised for the empowerment of intellectuals and professionals in response to the ever-burgeoning development of the globalised world. Exploring supervision experiences to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder the harmony and smoothness of supervision contributes to adequate supervision. There is substantial empirical evidence concerning supervisors' experience of supervision. Nevertheless, international doctoral students' supervision experiences have not been adequately investigated, and little is known about the supervision experience of Asian PhD students undertaking TESOL training. Specifically focusing on a broad spectrum of challenges faced by such a cohort, this study provides a deeper understanding and insight into the complex process of supervision that leads to successful research training globally. The Critical Incident Technique (CIT) was adopted for investigating and analysing narratives on research training experiences in native English-speaking countries. Key findings were presented, followed by critical and detailed analysis and comments. Implications for the adequate supervision of prospective international PhD students were also discussed, laying the foundation for developing a humanistic model for the supervision of Asian international PhD students. With its contributions, the study will significantly interest language educators, researchers, doctoral students of TESOL education, and international and comparative education.
