Intercultural learning in higher education in China:

Global, local and glocal perspectives

Call for abstracts

University of Nottingham Ningbo, Ningbo, China

19-20 June 2020

Preparation for intercultural engagement, whether in China or beyond, is now an important aspect of young people’s education. As students in higher education seek opportunities for study abroad and/or study alongside their international peers in their Chinese institutions, they need intercultural communication resources to support their learning and engagement. Employers also need interculturally competent graduates who can operate in increasingly globalized and intercultural contexts. Furthermore, national policies have highlighted intercultural learning in Chinese higher education, and intercultural learning has been mandated by the Chinese Ministry of Education within its English language teaching guidelines.

This 2-day conference aims to gather researchers, teachers, administrative and management staff in higher education, commercial providers of educational products and services, and policy makers for workshops and presentations on intercultural learning in higher education in China. By advancing dialogue between researchers and practitioners, building bridges between global and local perspectives, and reflecting on theories and practices of intercultural learning in higher education, a deeper understanding of intercultural education in Chinese higher education can be gained. In addition to invited and selected papers and posters (see below), the conference will offer workshops for teachers and trainers based on the intercultural learning materials developed within the RICH-Ed project.

Sun Youzhong (Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing, China)

中国高等教育中的跨文化学习：

全球化、本土化和全球本土一体化多维视角

会议征文

培养年轻人跨文化交往能力在国内外都是教育中的一个重点问题。在中国，高校学生有些需要出国留学，有些需要与来华留学的外国学生同窗共处，这一切都需要跨文化能力的支撑。企业也需要具有跨文化能力的人才，以适应日益全球化和跨文化的工作环境。因此，国家政策高度重视中国高等教育中的跨文化学习，中国教育部已经将跨文化学习纳入各类英语教学纲要之中。

本次会议为期两天，将于2020年6月19日至20日在宁波诺丁汉大学召开。诚邀全国高等学校教学科研和行政管理人员、教育产品和服务提供商、政策制定者参会研讨中国高等教育中的跨文化学习问题。会议旨在促进各方交流，融通全球化和本土化视角，反思高等教育中跨文化学习的理论和实践，加深对中国高等教育中的跨文化教育的了解。另外，会议还将运用“中国高等教育跨文化研究资源（RICH-Ed）”项目所开发的跨文化学习资料为教师和培训人员举办跨文化交际工作坊。
