How can I adapt my teaching to work more successfully with international students?

CONTENT
Are you in an institution that is growing in terms of the diversity in cultures of its students? How can these changes benefit your personal and professional growth and your interactions with students? And how can you develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that make up the intercultural competencies that can help you to develop your ability to get along with, learn from and work more successfully with people from diverse cultures?

This two-day workshop will focus on practical answers to the following:

  • exploring ‘culture’ and developing your intercultural competencies;
  • developing cultural self-awareness: reflecting on your own personal cultures;
  • reflecting on your own educational cultures, beliefs and practices;
  • growing intercultural sensitivity and greater understanding of other-ness;
  • applying intercultural competencies to your educational context;
  • understanding the experience of international students;
  • discussing concepts of international students versus home students and developing inclusive teaching practices for all;
  • dealing with friction between individuals and across groups;
  • finding solutions for critical incidents, e.g. helping students understand expectations in your institution: how to work and learn independently and collaboratively, how to develop critical thinking skills and how to work more effectively in multi-cultural groups.
