Abstract
This introduction aims to pinpoint the biased assumptions and contextualized limitations of the existing Western and Orientalist discourse concerning the East Asian learners’ learning experiences, and academic achievements from some postcolonial and post-Oriental perspectives. It also scrutinizes how their learning and culture are shaped through a new concept of transboundary learning culture and schooling systems (TLCS). Based on the overview of the following papers and TLCS framework, such introduction also draws implications for postcolonial and transcultural research studies. Copyright © 2025 The Author(s).
