“…For example, Ippolito (2007) argues that a multicultural learning environment should be promoted to help students adapt to the increasing internationalization of higher education. Guo and Chase (2011) found that in the Canadian academic environment programs tend to ignore the needs of international graduate students and suggest that an internationalized curriculum and learning environment are the keys to promoting the academic success of international students. Another important benefit of internationalization is its positive influence on a university's reputation.…”

International knowledge and skills are essential for success in today's highly competitive global marketplace. As one of the key providers of such knowledge and skills, universities have become a key focus of the internationalization strategies of governments throughout the world. While the internationalization of higher education clearly has certain benefits for students, schools, the national economy, and the international community, each country gives a different degree of importance to each of these various benefits. The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) to determine which benefits of the internationalization of education are deemed most important in Taiwan and Japan; 2) to determine which measures are most effective for realizing these benefits; and 3) to determine the extent to which these measures have actually been carried out. A questionnaire was used to obtain the views of 100 professors, 50 in Taiwan and 50 in Japan, as to the current situation in their respective countries. The results indicate that there are significant differences between the two country's reasons for promoting the internationalization of education, as well as in their respective internationalization strategies.

“…Brytyjskie koszty pozyskania studenta zagranicznego spoza Unii Europejskiej są zbliżone do czesnego za studia w Polsce (2500 euro/2015 r.), co świadczy również o dysproporcjach w nakładach marketingowych. W uczelniach badanych w 2006 r. 43 łączna kwota tych nakładów w przeliczeniu na uczelnię wahała się w przedziale od 150 tys. do 1 mln funtów.…”

“…In addition, international student identities are positively affirmed and their confidence is developed when assessments encourage the utilisation of materials and ideas from their own respective national cultures. Guo and Chase (2011) have provided an account of experiences arising from a program in the context of a Canadian university seeking to enable the integration of international postgraduate students, and despite the different national context and educational level, the process described seems not very different to that which we have encountered. Course content for international students may be addressed by a range of approaches, which Guo and Chase, following Bond (2003aBond ( , 2003b, characterise as 'add-on', 'infusion', and 'transformation'.…”

“…Teaching strategies have been informed by attention to issues of respect and trust, and the sensitive and nuanced communication of 'what is important'. Guo and Chase (2011) see the neoliberal economic motive as a persistent problem, as well as a tendency for the curriculum to suffer from an 'add-on' approach. They provide an account of a program that created a 'transnational learning space where international students felt a sense of belonging and where they felt safe to share their challenges and experiences.…”

This chapter sets out the context of publicly funded further education colleges in England, outlining the position and development of these complex institutions within the broader educational structure. This is followed by discussion of some tensions and contradictions which arise from government policies partially driven by anxieties derived from debates surrounding levels of immigration together with recognition of the imperatives and opportunities arising from globalization. The benefits of the internationalization of education have been expounded whilst simultaneously enforcing visa regulations which impede the efforts of colleges to make inroads in the international student market. In particular, disparities between the treatment of the further and higher education sectors are highlighted. The paper also provides an account of practices which have emerged in a single FE college in England over a decade of working with international students following an access to HE course. The chapter indicates some of the many benefits which have been brought to FE by international students as well as the ways in which a college has developed its practices in response to their needs.
