This book is intended to inform and educate college/university
faculty about how to design, implement and evaluate their own PBL
program in the undergraduate and graduate educational learning
environment. The objective of this 'how to' book is to provide
college/university faculty with ways to establish, use and evaluate
a successful problem based undergraduate or graduate program. There
is an increase in businesses and schools that are using some form
of problem-based learning on a daily basis. By educating
undergraduate and graduate students with this service delivery
model they will be better prepared to enter the work force and
perhaps increase their marketability. This can be used as
professional development to learn how to use PBL in undergraduate
and graduate courses. Also, college faculty can model to their
students how to use PBL in their own classrooms in the future.
Multilingualism and internationalization of higher education is a
contemporary reality world-wide. Specifically, multilingualism in
higher education is a multi-faceted issue that requires special
attention and is important in language learning policy. Special
professional and education training should be provided both to
teachers and students in to raise their awareness about the
benefits of multilingualism and multiculturalism, intercultural
communication, equity and equality, inclusive teaching and
learning, international collaboration, and more. Multilingual
education can promote linguistic and cultural diversity, cognitive,
effective, and social development, and can help to overcome
monolingual bias and enrich learning and teaching experience in the
higher education settings. This book provides insights in the field
of multilingualism and multilingual education based on conceptual
and empirical studies that will provide evidence in support of
sustainable multilingualism in higher education. Topics covered
will include language learning and teaching, language education
policy, ethical issues of language teaching, equity, and equality,
(digital) critical literacy, critical dialogue in academic
settings, language attitudes and perceptions, code-switching and
code-mixing, translanguaging, internationalization and
customization of higher education, minority and immigrant students
and instructors, and more. This book links theory with practice, to
include the views of students, teachers, educators, language policy
experts, scholars, and researchers and to contribute to the field
of Applied Linguistics and Education.
