Abstract
This paper deals with Japanese home-background students who enrolled in a full degree undergraduate program at an Australian university during 2000 to 2001. The study aims to identify and characterize the types of Japanese home-background students and establish a suitable classification of these students based on the findings. This study is an essential step in understanding the problems and the needs of these students in university learning. The findings are from a case study of 17 students, which are made up of seven local students and 10 international students.
