Cultural Competence - Practical Tips for Educators [HPEC Fast Facts].pdf
2021
Third level education is becoming more globalised and with it
comes the challenges of catering for a diverse student
population.There has been much discussion on the globalisation of
higher education which has largely focused on the
opportunities for multicultural campuses and skills to be
gained from studying in this environment (Murray & Muller,
2019; Vertovec, 2010). Equally, the associated challenges of
integration and intercultural competence development in such
a complex environment have also been the subject of much
discussion (Byram, 1997; Volet & Ang, 2012).However, there has been limited focus on the challenges for
educators and learners in this environment, and less
discussion on approaches to the pedagogical challenges
facing international learners (see Image 1), and their
progression through their course of studies (Arkoudis et al.,
2013).This Fast Facts edition aims to give a brief background to
learning and teaching for both international students and
educators respectively, and to provide guidance and
resources for diverse higher level learning contexts.Helen Kelly, Guest Writer, HPEC Fast Facts
