Improving Learning for All: A Day for Teachers of International Students - 03 Sept 10

  • Date: 3 Sep 2010
  • Location/venue: Conference Suite, Townhill Campus, Swansea Metropolitan University

This one-day workshop is offered by Swansea Metropolitan University and the Teaching International Students (TIS) project.

'Teaching International Students' is a joint initiative of the Higher Education Academy and the United Kingdom Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) with funding from the Prime Minister's Initiative 2 (PMI2). It is a two year project, hosted and co-funded by the Higher Education Academy.

The workshop is aimed at practitioners who work with international students on a day-to-day basis - whether in the classroom or in support of the students’ studies. 

The event is offered as a practical workshop where delegates will have the opportunity to work with the resources being created as part of the TIS project and to hear individual papers from local colleagues. 

Themes for the day include (subject to change): 

  • Issues of plagiarism and international students 
  • The experiences of Swansea Business School (SMU) over 5 years of teaching international undergraduate students 
  • Strategies for feedback and assessment of international students
  • Managing  international student expectations

Programme can be found here  

There is no charge for the event, but you will need to fund your own travel expenses. A buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided. 

We hope that the workshop will appeal to practitioners looking for support in this area. If you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact Paul Osborne (paul.osborne@smu.ac.uk) or Dr Fiona Hyland (fiona.hyland@bristol.ac.uk)
