Student and Staff Perspectives

Abstract

This chapter discusses staff and student perspectives on internationalisation. It draws primarily on literature from education and psychology to examine issues relating to student acculturation and the everyday lived experiences of tutors and students in the Anglophone university classroom.

Given that the literature from these fields does not provide-any actual analyses of face-to-face interaction, the chapter relates the issues emerging from the literature review to the tutor-led classroom. At the end of the chapter, intercultural group work as the only teaching and learning related event that so far, has found extensive attention in the literature, is discussed through the reported experiences of tutors and students.
