Course method
Discussions
This will be based on group readings in the areas of Higher Education, Internationalisation of HE, and Internationalisation as it affects specific group members.
Communication workshops
These will be practical sessions on the international interactions that the participants are involved in and aim to develop the skills that they need. These sessions will also serve to prepare and reflect on the work shadowing and interview opportunities.
Work shadowing/Interviews/Lesson observations
Shadowing, discussion and interviews will take place with a range of University staff members related to the participants’ field of work and expressed interests. Tutors will have the opportunity to observe lessons to international students.
Tasks
Participants will be expected to complete two tasks on the programme; to complete a daily reflection journal and at the end of the programme, deliver a presentation reflecting on their experiences and learning over the course of the week. Participants should also consider their future plans and how this can be disseminated to colleagues.
Seats
Places are limited to 12 only, so book early to secure your participation.
