Teaching an international classroom

Welcome!

Lecturers who will soon be teaching an international classroom, expect a classroom full of open minded global citizens. As a lecturer you hope that during your lessons students will share a richness of experiences, opinions and habits. In reality lecturers of international classrooms often encounter incomprehension, conflicts and mutual frustration.  It is all 'part of the game', next to the familiar daily challenges of lecturers in higher education.
