Quantitative and qualitative approaches were utilized in this study in this study. The purpose of integrating two approaches was done in order to capitalize on the strengths of the two approaches and to compensate for the weaknesses of each approach. In addition, quantitative research is usually driven by the researcher’s concerns, whereas qualitative research takes the subject’s perspectives as the point of departure. These emphases would be brought together in this study. Questionnaires and group discussion can be employed to study perceptions. In this study, however, questionnaires are designed in order to reach as large an audience as possible and to allow the respondents to answer the research questions at their own pace and their own time. The quantitative data that were derived from analysing fixed-choice questions showed more clear and linear result of expectations. For example: during tutorial activities, overseas students expected teacher to be planner, facilitator and information provider. In relation to the students learning and the assignments, most respondents also expected more directive roles of the teacher. In addition, the majority respondents in respect to the assessments anticipated teacher as evaluator and information provider.
