Teacher educators’ perspectives on global citizenship education and multilingual competences
This study reports on the unique and personal experiences of 17 teacher educators from five different countries when integrating global citizenship education (GCE) and multilingual competences (MC) into their teaching practices. The qualitative study employed in-depth, semi-structured interviews to capture the complex and individual nature of their attitudes and practices towards incorporating GCE and MC into teaching. Through reflexive thematic …
Intercultural adjustment of internationally mobile academics working in Thailand
Non-nationals constitute up to a quarter of the academic staff workforce of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide. Their motivations to ‘work abroad’, and their experiences of doing so, are, however, under-researched, especially where migration is to or within the global South. We report a study conducted among internationally mobile academics from a variety of countries working in Thailand. At policy level, Thailand aspires to increase …
The Migration of International Academics to Thailand and Their Experiences of Thai Higher Education
From surviving to thriving
This article is located in the context of the refugee emergency in Europe and responses to it. We draw data from a qualitative study exploring challenges and factors that facilitated professional success in the experiences of five highly skilled refugees as they seek gainful employment in the UK. Findings emphasise the importance of motivation and resilience, and of (re)building social networks in professional (re)integration. Relatedly, the pape…
Intergenerational communication – an interdisciplinary mapping review of research between 1996 and 2017
Concerns have been raised regarding the limited opportunities for intergenerational communication both outside and within the family. This “mapping review” draws together empirical literature in the topic published since 1996. Three hundred and twenty-four published studies met inclusion criteria, based on abstract review. The contents of each study were subjected to thematic analysis and nine broad themes emerged. These were (1) Dynamics of rela…
The internationalising university
There are currently more than four million people worldwide studying in higher education (HE) institutions located outside their country of origin, and numbers are growing (OECD 2013). ‘Internation
Framing interculturality
This paper examines how intercultural communication (ICC) and the notion of culture are framed in on-line promotional discourse of higher education (HE) ICC courses. It analyses a specialised corpus comprised of 14,842 words from 43 course websites of master's programmes in ICC in the UK and the US – internationally, the two largest providers of such programmes. Through combining corpus tools with a ‘situated meaning’ approach, the analysis revea…
The effects of cross-cultural communication education on international students' adjustment and adaptation
The recent increase in the provision of cross- and intercultural education for sojourners has not been matched by commensurate research into its effects on participants. Evaluation, where undertaken at all, has been largely confined to expatriate business contexts and has tended to be undertaken pre-sojourn. Crucially, evaluation has not engaged with the adaptation, adjustment and performance of sojourners related to their actual lived experience…
The Adoption of Non-Heritage Names among Chinese Mainlanders
When studying English or through the medium of English, some mainland Chinese students adopt non-heritage names. This phenomenon has arisen as a result of language contact in an increasingly interconnected world. Our paper investigates reasons for the adoption of non-heritage names among Chinese students and the kinds of functions that these names are seen to fulfill. We surveyed 156 English linguistics majors. Our findings indicate that most of …
Intercultural communicative competence
This paper reports on an investigation into the beliefs and practices of experienced teachers in the USA, UK and France relating to the application of a model of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) to English language programmes. Broadly, ‘intercultural’ approaches to language learning and teaching are strongly advocated in both the recent theoretical applied linguistics literature and in curricular guidance in frameworks such as the Cou…
Developing a carer communication intervention to support personhood and quality of life in dementia
Dementia and dementia care present huge and growing challenges, both to individuals and to societies worldwide. In the United Kingdom, the context for the study reported here, recent key policy initiatives have highlighted problems in care provision, noting a lack of appropriate carer guidance, and an overemphasis on strictly biomedical interventions. Communication practices which support agency and empowerment have been identified as areas for p…
Communication, discourses and interculturality
Communication is generally realised through social action in the form of interpersonal discourse. Social action can make implicit and/or explicit claims about the various associated, and perhaps co
Which English? Whose English? An investigation of ‘non-native’ teachers' beliefs about target varieties
This study explored the beliefs of ‘non-native English speaking’ teachers about the usefulness and appropriacy of varieties such as English as an International Language (EIL) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), compared with native speaker varieties. The study therefore addresses the current theoretical debate concerning ‘appropriate’ target models of English in different contexts worldwide. Participants were asked to reflect on their experienc…
Towards a Code of Practice for Effective Communication With People With Dementing Illnesses
In this article, the authors highlight the need for a Code of Practice (CoP) to address the communicative needs of people with dementia and their formal and informal carers. The authors also detail a proposed CoP, as well as an innovative and inclusive consultation process through which the authors and other stakeholders will produce a complete final working version. The authors produced a three level framework for a proposed CoP. Level 1 is a st…
