ABSTRACT As education-migration (edugration) blurs the line between international student and immigrant recruitment in some jurisdictions, higher education admission is becoming linked to settler nation-building projects. Using critical discourse analysis, this article examines the Canadian higher education sector’s response to COVID-19 through pre-budget submissions to the House of Commons of Canada Standing Committee on Finance for the 2021 federal budget. Findings demonstrate how institutions instrumentalized international students to position themselves as valuable actors in Canada’s immigration regime and justify their requests for public financial support. In this way, nation-building through immigration – both globally, as an imperial power, and domestically, as a colonial power – is now a new societal role of higher education which is becoming hegemonic within institutions. This is significant because, as higher education’s purposes align with those of economic immigration, the sector not only fails to interrupt, but itself reproduces, systemic patterns of border imperialism and settler-colonialism. The article urges higher education institutions to (1) more deeply consider how a reliance on international student enrolment is impacting its societal roles, while also (2) avoid exceptionalizing the present by recognizing that higher education has long functioned in the service of the state as a colonial and imperialist power.

ABSTRACT The international student experience has strategically transformed the internationalisation of higher education globally. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, international student wellbeing has decreased. To enhance their wellbeing, we argue international students’ experience should be broadened to include community engagement, thereby increasing core capabilities for, by and with international students. Using Sen’s capability approach as a conceptual framework, we conducted a study in South Australia during the height of the pandemic. Partnering with one local non-for-profit organisation, we asked: ‘How have engagements with the local community affected international students’ capabilities to enhance their wellbeing?’ We offer critical interpretivist perspectives to report on a pilot study of 75 survey responses and 18 in-depth interviews. The findings identify diverse macro-structural forces that form a social context which has marginalised the students. Despite contingent and tenuous social relations and contexts, with support from the community outside the university, some students converted their capabilities to fortify their wellbeing. This study is critical given that the goal of re-strategising internationalisation of higher education begins from the students’ needs through an effective partnership between universities and communities.

: Values education through curriculum is popular in current Chinese higher education and plays an important role in the training of new engineering talents. For the Electromagnetic Fields and Electromagnetic Waves course, there are problems needed to be solved, such as unclear selection mechanism of values or ideological and political elements and cases, and the gap between the fixed knowledge system of classical electromagnetism and the rapid development of telecommunication technology. In this paper, the clear construction and implementation methods of values education through curriculum in this course are proposed, and the value education elements and cases are selected according to both of the actual needs of the country and social and technological development. Through the reconstruction, expansion and modularization of course content, a blended online and offline teaching method is adopted in the class of Electromagnetic Fields and Electromagnetic Waves to achieve deep integration of theory, technology, and values education. The cultivation of students' knowledge, ability, innovation, and value are emphasized in the whole teaching and learning process. Since the implementation of the values education through curriculum, the achievement of student training goals has been significantly improved, promoting the implementation of teaching reform. The mode and experiences of innovation and practice of values education through curriculum in this course is potential to promote to relevant majors nationwide

: In the construction of the teaching system of applied undergraduate programmes, the value of "application" is highlighted, and high-quality talents with strong social adaptability and competitiveness are cultivated, which has certain requirements for the communication, writing, teamwork and innovation abilities of university students. Currently, there are many problems in writing among university students, who do not pay enough attention to writing courses and rely too much on artificial intelligence to write, lacking creative independence. The lack of writing skills also brings with it many problems, as many students find it difficult to write project books and application essays when they enter society, which does not help them to adapt quickly to the workplace. At the same time, communication skills are an important assessment factor for graduates when they first enter the workplace, and many general education courses at this stage neglect the development of communication skills. Therefore, in order to quickly solve the dilemma of the teaching mode of traditional writing courses, Liaoning Institute of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation offers the Writing and Communication course, which starts and ends with improving students' writing and communication in the workplace, and is student-centred, helping students to improve their writing and communication in the workplace and develop critical thinking skills through innovative teaching modes and improved assessment and evaluation, which helps to improve students' overall quality and cultivate Application-oriented talents.

: Strengthening the cultivation of the innovation and entrepreneurship abilities for postgraduate students is a practical need for the country to implement the innovation driven development strategy, and also an inevitable requirement for establishing an innovative country. This paper discusses some problems faced by the cultivation of the innovation and entrepreneurship abilities for postgraduate students. Based on the research on the construction of the curriculum system of postgraduate students majored in Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) in Southeast University, P.R. China, this paper presents the ideas and plans for the construction of the teaching system integrating the cultivation of innovation and entrepreneurship abilities. By promoting the implementation of this plan, the discipline of MEMS in Southeast University has made some achievements in the cultivation of innovative and entrepreneurial talents. A survey indicates that 37.7% of the postgraduate students from the discipline of MEMS expressed a willingness to start their own businesses within 5 years after graduation. At the same time, over 35.9% of the postgraduate students stated that they have certain or good innovation and entrepreneurship abilities and potentials. This can provide useful reference for the cultivation of innovation and entrepreneurship abilities of postgraduate students in other universities

ABSTRACT While China has emerged as a leading host country for international students, it reinforces its determination to build a global knowledge system by integrating Chinese and Western epistemological traditions in teaching and learning to promote epistemic justice. The study aims to explore international students’ challenges to current approaches to teaching and learning in Chinese higher education institutions in relation to the internationalization of curriculum. The study employed a qualitative exploratory design and collected data using semi-structured interviews with 30 international students at two prestigious Chinese universities. Based on the thematic analysis, the results highlight that international students struggle with issues such as Chinese language-dominated instruction, lack of discussion and autonomy in the classroom, limited engagement with domestic (Chinese) students and insufficient practical or hands-on learning opportunities. These findings are analysed against common standards required for the internationalization of teaching and learning. These findings have implications for classroom pedagogy in higher education institutions in China to sustain the interest of international students.
