Full Description
Giving voice to researchers, policy-makers and practitioners through a range of international case studies, Educational Approaches to Internationalization through Intercultural Dialogue interrogates processes of internationalization strategy and practice, from an educational and intercultural dialogue perspective.
Addressing this important, under-discussed area of internationalization - the role of intercultural dialogue - this book provides theoretical reflections and applicable, practical case studies that focus on:
Support for integration programmes for international and home students
Mobility programmes and initiatives which use an intercultural dialogue approach
The place of local languages and cultures in foreign language policies
The possibilities within a higher education context
The multilingual perspective
Student and staff perspectives
Focusing on teaching and learning, and exploring the latest research within the context of internationalization, Educational Approaches to Internationalization through Intercultural Dialogue is a must-read for anyone interested in, or currently involved in designing and implementing internationalization strategies within a higher education institution.
