W-11 Teacher Training for Internationalization : Issues and Recommendations regarding Diversity and Classroom Interaction

抄録

Globalization and the information age require new ways of education. We share our ideas as well as practical points for faculty development to facilitate this change. The background of this paper is a "Workshop for Lecturing in English" series, where besides the change of language, we have also been advocating a change from unidirectional to interactive classes at the same time. Like in the workshop, we introduce a number of problems, solutions, and benefits that teachers and students reported in surveys, in addition to some of our own experiences. An interesting finding was that both industry and students ask for more interactive lectures, whereas teachers seem to be more worried about knowledge transfer. This connects to the three main challenges we see in FD: understanding the difference between teaching and learning, giving up the feeling of being in control, and the challenge of designing meaningful assessments.
