International Academic Staff: The Roles of Languages, Cultures, and Personalities de Kendall Richards

International Academic Staff: The Roles of Languages, Cultures, and Personalities

Autor Kendall Richards, Nick Pilcher, Gyung Sook Jane Lee
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 2024
This book ​focuses on the experiences of international academic staff in higher education, particularly examining the influences of issues such as languages, cultures, and personalities. The qualitative approach taken by the authors provides vignettes of varied international contexts, which are then compared and analysed to highlight important considerations for practice in different settings. By exploring the experiences of staff teaching within a language that is not their first language, and in a different cultural context, the authors contribute to a burgeoning area of research, and scholars working on Applied Linguistics, Higher Education, English as a Medium of Instruction and other aspects of Internationalisation are likely to find the book relevant and useful.
