Product Description

Review
"This edited collection provides a balanced and authoritative account of teaching and learning in internationalized higher education contexts. It offers a critical analysis and a truly international and cross-cultural set of perspectives on current practice and on some of the stereotypes in operation. The agenda it sets out for the internationalization of pedagogy at universities will be of great value to all who are concerned with making teaching and learning more inclusive and creative in supporting mobility and global citizenship. Everyone who works in higher education should share these concerns." - Michele Schweisfurth, Professor of Comparative and International Education and Co-Director of the Robert Owen Centre for Educational Change, University of Glasgow, UK
"The lucid and informative essays in this book are written by some of the best scholars researching the teaching and learning of international students, in both the East and West. The book provides nuanced discussions on the theories connected with international education as well as its practical manifestations in schools and universities. Educators involved in this rapidly growing field will find the collection highly readable and instructive." - Kam Louie, Honorary Professor, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong, and Adjunct Professor, The University of New South Wales, Australia
