Rather than seeing internationalization as a problem to be addressed, this text embraces the opportunities for the enrichment of the learning environment through a values-driven approach to internationalization.Taking a positive and practical approach to internationalizing higher education, the book considers a range of questions about how to bring in global perspectives to the learning environment and education provision.

Internationalizing Higher Education: Enhancing learning, teaching and curriculumElspeth Jones and Sally BrownInsular approaches to higher education have been commonplace for some time but diversity is now a universal given and increasing numbers of international students as well as home students require a fresh approach to curriculum design, delivery, assessment and evaluation. This authoritative overview brings together current thinking about internationalisation and academic pedagogy in higher education and explores how developing good practice for international students is good practice for all students.Challenging the notion that the international student is a problem student, this book proposes that the international student lies at the heart of the university as a source of cultural capital and intentional diversity, enriching the learning experience, enhancing staff experience and building a more powerful learning community. Using real examples from universities in the UK and elsewhere, Internationalizing Higher Education provides academic consideration of the key issues of implementation of a cross-cultural strategy. Topics discussed include: institutional and organisational perspectives ethical dimensions visioning and implementing cultural change within an organisation quality enhancement issues assessment, teaching, learning and student support issues for home and international students the process of inducting, welcoming and guidance for students enhancing employability fostering engagement of students and staff within the wider community
