Abstract
ABSTRACT In this editorial introduction we present what motivated us to organise this collection of studies on international students in the Chinese context. As a follow-up to the 2006 special issue entitled ‘The Chinese Learner in Higher Education’ in this journal, this collection of studies problematise the domination of studies on international students in English medium universities, and extends our understanding of cross-border students’ experiences by focussing on international students in Chinese universities. This brief editorial introduction gives an overview of the studies included in this special issue, and ends with a call for further research on international students in China and contexts other than English-medium universities.
期刊介绍:
Language, Culture and Curriculum is a well-established journal that seeks to enhance the understanding of the relations between the three dimensions of its title. It welcomes work dealing with a wide range of languages (mother tongues, global English, foreign, minority, immigrant, heritage, or endangered languages) in the context of bilingual and multilingual education and first, second or additional language learning. It focuses on research into cultural content, literacy or intercultural and transnational studies, usually related to curriculum development, organisation or implementation. The journal also includes studies of language instruction, teacher training, teaching methods and language-in-education policy. It is open to investigations of language attitudes, beliefs and identities as well as to contributions dealing with language learning processes and language practices inside and outside of the classroom. Language, Culture and Curriculum encourages submissions from a variety of disciplinary approaches. Since its inception in 1988 the journal has tried to cover a wide range of topics and it has disseminated articles from authors from all continents.
