International Chinese and Canadian Students' Experiences of Internationalization at a Canadian University (Paperback)

Internationalization, as a response to globalization, is one of the key drivers and shapers of the fundamental changes transforming the world of higher education. There is a need to understand internationalization within higher education from the vantage point of the domestic and international students who are currently being educated because their experiences testify to the provision of quality education. Using a Case Study approach this research explores ways that the internationalization of higher education impacts students' intercultural relations, identities, intercultural sensitivity, critical understandings, and notions of citizenship. Various themes were identified in international Chinese and domestic students' accounts of their experiences of internationalization at a Canadian university including: education and marketization, academic pressure and performance, language, intercultural connections and barriers, and cultural hybridity. Results indicated that students responded to internationalization in complex and contradictory ways.
