Special Issue:
Exploring Internationalisation of the curriculum to enhance the student experience
Guest Editor: Dr Monika Foster
Call for Papers
This special edition of the Journal will explore the implications of internationalisation of the curriculum, specifically how it can inform programme development, the extent to which internationalisation necessitates programme change, and the ways in which internationalisation and intercultural dimensions can be built into learning and teaching to enhance the student experience.
Informed by research outcomes and academic practice, this special edition will approach the topic from a range of methodological perspectives and hence offer insights relevant to a varied and wide audience, both in terms of the generic principles and academic practice, through to subject specific applications. This special edition aims to both draw on the expertise of colleagues involved in researching and championing internationalisation, and the classroom experiences of colleagues implementing an internationalized curriculum in a variety of disciplinary and practice settings.
Contributions are invited which explore:
- Research informed approach to developing internationalised curriculum at course level.
- Good practice in internationalisation of curriculum in different disciplines.
- The role of academics and academic developers in designing internationalisation and intercultural awareness into programmes of study.
- Tools and resources available to develop internationalised curriculum.
- Tensions and/or enabling factors between programme development and internationalisation of the curriculum.
- Student voice in internationalisation of curriculum.
- Intercultural dimensions of internationalisation of curriculum.
Contributions are welcome in a variety of formats and full details are available at http://jpaap.napier.ac.uk/index.php/JPAAP/index The deadline for brief abstracts is 22nd June and, if accepted, submission of full papers by 24th August 2015. Abstracts should be sent to Anastasia Dragona, [log in to unmask]
Dr Monika Foster is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Senior Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University. Monika’s research interests lie in internationalisation of higher education, especially the linguistic, academic and cultural challenges faced by international students in cross-border education. Her research to date has mainly examined international students’ academic acculturation experiences in the UK, as well as international students’ study destination choices and cultural aspects of international student mobility. Her current research involves examining effective resources for internationalised curriculum design. Monika has published widely on the topic in the UK and internationally.
