“…Again, this is surprising given that in the American community college sector, in “2009, overall language enrollment was up 47.8% (Brod & Huber, 1997, p. 55)” according to Jurisevic (2013, p. 167). Moreover, scholar-practitioners Castro-Salazar et al (2016) argued that English as a Second Language (ESL) programs were needed for international students and that these programs could be redesigned and conceptualized to serve both local and international student populations. In the Canadian setting, the Department of External Affairs (DEA) conveyed interest in creating language learning programs that met “national needs,” however, this “raised ethical issues of academic freedom as well as constitutional problems and [the programs] were subsequently never implemented” (Trilokekar, 2015, p. 4).…”

“…We acknowledge that a variety of internationalization activities extend beyond the campus community in both cases. For example, Pima Community College described an exchange program that provided academic and social support to students from Mexico, while connecting students to the broader Pima community (Castro-Salazar et al, 2016). Programs like these move internationalization beyond campus borders and offer meaningful benefits to local cities and towns, though these measures may not clearly show up in community college internationalization plans themselves.…”

Internationalization in the community college sector serves many purposes that align with the local and national contexts in which an institution is situated. One method of assessing how international efforts have become institutionalized is through the analysis of internationalization plans. Prior research examining internationalization plans and agendas is centered on the four-year sector, and studies on the two-year sector and comparative studies are scarce. This article addresses that gap by analyzing four community college internationalization plans in the U.S. and Canada. We use the textual analysis tool, Voyant, to examine how internationalization is operationalized in these two national contexts. Our findings indicate that there is little emphasis on mobility and language programs, despite the presence of these internationalization strategies in institutional or national policies. The documents also show greater quantification of goals related to internationalization and lesser specificity regarding intercultural activities. Implications and recommendations for future research are offered.

This chapter conducts a case study of Delaware Technical Community College as it grew its programs from 2009 to present. Despite directive from the President, support and engagement was not widespread across the state: varying by campus, division, department, and instructor. Study abroad leadership was tasked with aligning the program with the college's mission, vision, and strategic directions, and building support internally and externally to boost student enrollment in the study abroad program. By targeting three key groups of stakeholders—students, faculty, and community members—and supporting shared values towards a mutual benefit, Delaware Technical Community College was able to grow its study abroad enrollment by over 400% from 2010 to 2018.
