SUMMARY:Expert Workshop "Internationalisation of the Curricula: Working in 
 International and Joint Classrooms"
DESCRIPTION:So-called international and joint classrooms for discipline-spe
 cific as well as interdisciplinary work can significantly contribute to su
 ccessful and systematic curriculum internationalisation: They can be forma
 l learning settings in which local and educationally mobile students inter
 act and where cultural ‘otherness’ enriches classroom discussions. How
 ever\, creating such environments for intercultural interaction and change
 s in perspective often remains a challenge for faculty. In a similar vein\
 , students generally cherish engaging with cultural diversity in the class
 room. Yet oftentimes a complex entanglement of both overt and covert issue
 s ranging from misunderstandings due to language\, culture\, and academic 
 socialisation to stereotypes\, pressure in the face of assessment\, or ina
 dequate collaborative assignments influence interactions in international 
 and joint classrooms.\n\nIn this expert workshop\, we therefore invite fac
 ulty\, programme coordinators\, international officers\, and curriculum de
 velopers of international higher education institutions to join us in ackn
 owledging theoretical views on international and joint classrooms and in l
 ooking closely at practice and hands-on approaches. Which (already existin
 g) concepts and tools can facilitate cross-cultural encounters on the home
  campus? Which role can new media and technologies play in opening new per
 spectives for teaching and learning? How can faculty and curriculum develo
 pers make stronger use of the potential of international classrooms which 
 their varieties of perspectives and their multilingualism? How can an inte
 rnationalised classroom-setting draw on the diverse backgrounds of all stu
 dents and faculty members? How can the international or joint classroom be
  connected to the local community and become emblematic of a vibrant and d
 iverse university town? Which learning outcomes are particularly relevant 
 in this context – and which learning scenarios and assessment methods ma
 y prove to be adequate?\n\nIn the morning\, three impulse talks will spark
  our conversations on topics related to the mission and vision and the int
 ernationalisation of the curriculum in higher education. During the worksh
 op sessions\, both newcomers to the topic and those more experienced can e
 ngage in discussions on practical issues. We encourage all participants to
  bring their questions and good practices to these workshop sessions. It i
 s our aim to initiate a practice-oriented discussion on the role and chall
 enges of working in international and joint classrooms. – Whether you pa
 rticipate in the workshops or are attending the impulse talks only\, we in
 vite you to take part in an interactive discussion space in the afternoon\
 , where colleagues from the University of Göttingen as well as practition
 ers from other higher education institutions will share their insights and
  experiences with you.
