This book examines teaching practices in international education,
focusing on two significant meanings of the notion of 'practice':
the concrete activities used by university lecturers and the role
of education as a platform for transferring particular skills or
approaches. In addition to discussing techniques involved in
programme design, curricular development, course activities,
multicultural teamwork and examination, the author explores the
idea of the lecturer as an actor communicating practices,
considering the role and responsibility of academic staff in the
development of successful international education. With attention
to the importance of the context of internationalisation, the book
draws on research from two major research projects, presenting
extensive interview material with teaching staff engaged in
international education and projects of internationalisation.
Combining the approaches of 'pragmatism' and practice theory, as
developed by Bourdieu and Schatzki, among others, Teaching
Practices in a Global Learning Environment addresses themes
including the international-ness of academic disciplines, the
biographies of international educators, and language issues
emerging in international education. As such, it will appeal to
scholars across the social sciences and policy makers with
interests in pedagogy, internationalisation and higher education.
