As higher education institutions become more globally-focussed and the number of students from internationally-diverse cultures increases, there is an impending need for those who teach to become more interculturally aware in their disciplinary teaching practice and design and assessment of their curricula. This module will be delivered as an online module.
This module aims to foster awareness and responsiveness around aspects of teaching across cultures, engaging those who teach diverse international and intercultural cohorts in critically reflecting on their personal and professional intercultural competence. In particular, it aims to support:
- the development of appropriate teaching and learning strategies;
- the design and assessment of culturally-inclusive, internationalised curricula;
- the scaffolding of opportunities for students to advance their own international and intercultural
perspectives and competences.
Participants will be introduced to theoretical models, principles and concepts of intercultural competence. They will explore a range of research-informed and practically-focused strategies for effective teaching and learning across cultures. In critically engaging with case studies, webinars and a range of online activities, participants will consolidate their understanding of: internationalised curriculum design, culturally-aware assessment strategies, disciplinary perspectives, and internationalisation in higher education more broadly.
