HEA engagement with internationalisation
• “Internationalisation takes many different forms in the context of UK higher education. Over the next year we are focussing on: teaching international students; transnational education; internationalisation of the curriculum; and students’ academic mobility with a view to improving their employability. We are committed to the development of these practices and the understandings and evidence that underpins them.” (HEA)

Some questions for the day
Which themes?
Which theme champions?
How will we report/ disseminate?
What are the key challenges for teaching, learning, assessment and the student experience?
Can we form an enquiry network to investigate these issues?
![Page 21: SIG Internationalising the curriculum. 2 Welcome Dr Sue Robson, Head of School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Newcastle University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649de65503460f94adfcfb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Listening Triads: Roles
In turn take on the roles of questioner, respondent and listener:
Questioner: use the questions on the next slide and your own queries to promote and prompt the respondent’s thinking about internationalisation; listen carefully so that you structure the ‘interview’ appropriately
Respondent: take time to review the questions in relation to your experiences and beliefs and respond in detail;
Listener: listen actively and carefully to the conversation and make a record of key themes, experiences and issues emerging; you need to be ready to review the conversation with your colleagues
![Page 22: SIG Internationalising the curriculum. 2 Welcome Dr Sue Robson, Head of School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Newcastle University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649de65503460f94adfcfb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Listening Triads: Questions
These questions will get you started, but add in other queries that you
have as ‘questioner’ as you listen to your colleague:
• Can you identify a specific example of how you’ve internationalised the curriculum?
• What were the challenges?• What were the outcomes?• Who benefited?• What might you do differently next time?
![Page 23: SIG Internationalising the curriculum. 2 Welcome Dr Sue Robson, Head of School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Newcastle University](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649de65503460f94adfcfb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The case study can act as:
A frame: a structure for supporting the articulation of ontological and epistemological beliefs
A lens: a process through which different ideas and understandings about practice and enquiry can be shared
A scaffold: supporting strategic developments
A measure: a way of capturing change that has occurred (Hall, 2011)
A catalytic tool (Knorr-Cetina, 2001, cited in Robson, Wall and Lofthouse, 2013) for professional learning
