Research on the qualities of successful teachers in Turkey indicates that students consider teacher effectiveness as the ability to ensure an environment in which positive student-teacher interaction can take place. However, further studies are needed to clarify students' perceptions of the qualities of effective foreign language teachers, in particular, thus providing educators with necessary information concerning the implementation of language teacher development programs. Therefore, 998 undergraduate students at a state university in Turkey were asked to complete a survey concerning the qualities they believed are characteristic of a successful English language teacher. The results provide a detailed profile of university English as a foreign language (EFL) students' perceptions with respect to pedagogy-specific knowledge, personality traits, professional skills and classroom behavior.

The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) regularly evaluates the experience of international students in Canada through a benchmarking survey. Canada First 2009 represents the fourth time CBIE has conducted this research. Previous editions appeared in 1988, 1999 and 2004. This year's survey used a revised questionnaire similar to those utilized previously. In 2009, 5,925 international students from 22 universities and 4 colleges across Canada participated in the survey. A number of key findings emerged from the report including: (1) Nine out of 10 students who saw advertising about studying in Canada say it influenced their decision to choose Canada; (2) Although almost all students reported using the internet as a source of information on study in Canada, more students in 2009 than in 2004 reported that a professor, teacher, or instructor in their home country was also a key source; (3) Tuition fees are on the rise, which may suggest why fewer students from lower income families are choosing Canada; and (4) Canada was the first choice destination for just over 50% of international students studying here, but this has fallen from a high of nearly 60% in 1999. The survey/questionnaire used in the study is appended.

Internationalization is an increasingly important issue in higher education around the world. &quot;Global education can no longer be viewed as a secondary consideration; we must recognize that it is central to developing graduates who can cope effectively with the modern, interdependent world&quot; (Wood, 1991). While universities and colleges have clearly shown increased interest in and commitment to internationalization, the question now facing them is how to sustain this interest and turn the commitment into effective strategies. It is necessary to take a critical and systematic look at how to sustain the interest and investments being made and assess the quality, impact and benefits of current internationalization efforts. The purpose of this paper is to examine the elements in the internationalization process of a college or university. Academic activities and services, organizational factors and guiding principles are discussed. Greater attention is given to organizational factors and principles which help to integrate internationalization into the university's administrative process and structures, and create a culture that values and supports the benefits of internationalization. The discussion culminates in a series of checkpoints to assist in the planning, implementation and review of internationalization strategies. Finally, an internationalization cycle is presented which includes six stages of the process and emphasizes continuous efforts toward innovation and institutionalization of the international dimension.

Type: Information Analyses
Subjects: Organizational Culture,Global Approach,Literature Reviews,Institutional Characteristics,Change Strategies,Organizational Change,Concept Formation,Higher Education

This brief literature review introduces an area of emerging research about the impact of organizational culture on institutional strategies for internationalization. The review begins by introducing the concept of organizational culture, particularly within higher education. Five articles published between 2003 and 2012 are examined that introduce a variety of methods to understand and assess the impact of institutional organizational culture on institutional internationalization. The literature review concludes by suggesting areas for further research.
Engaging Educators: Bringing the World into the Classroom. Guidelines for Practice

Subjects: Classroom Environment,Classroom Techniques,Guidelines,Educational Practices,Teaching Methods,Curriculum Development,Global Approach,Educational Change,Educational Strategies,Change Strategies,Best Practices,World Views,Educational Resources,Instructional Material Evaluation,Social Capital,Behavioral Objectives,Teacher Student Relationship,Trust (Psychology),Organizational Climate,Student Role,Higher Education,Foreign Countries,Educational Planning

The third element in the Internationalization of the Curriculum series, &quot;Engaging Educators&quot; offers practical solutions to help faculty members internationalize their teaching practices. The purpose of these guidelines is to set out and share the full range of practices which were identified by faculty who participated in the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) study. The intent in identifying a range of choices is to: (1) help faculty who are already interested continue to develop international/intercultural content in their course; (2) invite a more inclusive approach to who is participating in this curriculum reform; and (3) encourage faculty who are already strapped for time to decide to take a few steps in this direction. Futhermore, the guidelines may help inform Deans and senior administrative officers of post-secondary institutions who, by virtue of the positions they hold, have the responsibility to ensure faculty are encouraged and supported in their effort to make a contribution to overall success of the institution.
Ethical Considerations for Internationalization: Perspectives from Global Citizenship Education

A variety of globalizing influences have dramatically shifted the environment of Canadian institutions of higher education in the past few decades. Increased global student mobility has quite literally brought the world to our campuses. The presence of over 200,000 international students is only one factor contributing to increased cultural diversity on Canadian campuses. Greater cultural diversity derives from steady growth in the presence of Indigenous students and new Canadian students. Judging by the numbers, it would appear that higher education is poised to become a site of intercultural and global exchange. Although higher education has always valued the mobility of scholars and ideas, the recent emphasis on international activities has evolved to encompass much more than scholarly exchange. This paper explores the links between international education and global citizenship education in order to understand the inherent convergences and divergences, and to consider how they can be connected to achieve ethical approaches in institutional policy and practice, and in teaching. The common themes in the internationalization and global citizenship education literature will be examined in order to investigate the potential future trajectory of this area of scholarship. Beginning with a brief discussion of terms, the paper discusses the ethical dilemmas posed for Canadian higher education in a globalized context where the mobility of educational resources, paradigms and students have become commonplace strategies for many institutions. The final sections will discuss the challenges of embedding global citizenship perspectives within internationalization in higher education and suggest future possibilities.
Branding Canadian Higher Education. CBIE Research

The branding of national higher education systems is a global trend that has become increasingly common over the last decade. One of the main motives driving this trend is the view that branding a national higher education system will increase that country's market share of international students. This is evident as national higher education systems compete against one another in a high-stakes battle for international students by attempting to differentiate themselves in the marketplace of higher education.
A Time of Turbulence and Transformation for Internationalization. CBIE Research No. 14

The purpose of this monograph is to identify, discuss and probe issues; ask questions; challenge assumptions; and generally reflect on the evolution and direction of international education. It is an attempt to step back from daily work and think about the fundamental issues and challenges influencing basic understanding and approach to internationalization. The paper identifies several of the major societal trends and the risks and opportunities they bring to the internationalization of higher education. A discussion on the changing rationales for internationalization follows and builds on the impact of the societal trends. Finally, an analysis of terms and concepts contributes to a proposed taxonomy, which reflects the changing landscape of international education.
The Role of Faculty in Internationalizing the Undergraduate Curriculum and Classroom. CBIE Research Millennium Series No. 8

Most faculty, administrators, as well as public and private sector leaders, name the curriculum as the most important feature of any internationalization strategy. To internationalize the undergraduate curriculum, however, requires careful reexamination of the curricula, scrutinizing the &quot;more of the same&quot; thinking that sometimes permeates academic departments. Such scrutiny is the proprietary domain of faculty members whose responsibility is to determine what they teach and how they teach it. Based on a national survey of over 150 college and university faculty members and international student advisers/work and study abroad advisers, this report explores the current state of internationalization of the undergraduate curriculum and identifies best practices. Four appendices present: (1) Faculty and the Internationalization of the Curriculum &amp; Classroom Experience (survey); (2) Disciplines Identified by College and University Participants; (3) Summary of Faculty Survey Findings by Questions &amp; Significant Differences; and (4) Attributes of Participants which Significantly Influence Responses by Question.

More and more Canadians are departing the country for international study, training and work experiences. Increasingly Canadian organizations and institutions are developing programs that further this mobility. However there is a dearth of resources and a lack of guidelines related to ensuring health and safety while abroad. &quot;Worth the Risk&quot; offers the reader practical approaches to ensuring the safety of students and learners. The paper is divided into six sections, the first being the Introduction. Section Two looks at different elements that set the stage for presenting the four approaches to risk management, including international perspectives on liability and risk; the dynamics of internationalization as they pertain to risk in study abroad; and some legal considerations around duty of care. Section Three presents the four approaches to risk management: Primarily Legal; Crisis Management; Encouraging Student Partnership; and Study Abroad and Program Review. It looks at the next steps for their application, and how the approaches interrelate. Section Four discusses the campus context and the role of the international educator. Section Five presents some conclusions. Section Six is a &quot;Selected and Annotated Resource Guide&quot; which aims at providing study abroad professionals with more sources of information.

The knowledge society, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and the market economy are increasing the demand for tertiary and continuing education. Traditional higher education institutions (HEIs) are no longer the only delivers of academic courses and programs. Globalization is changing the world and internationalization is changing higher education. This paper is an exploration of world trends in crossborder education--a key agenda item for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and other international organizations.

Internalization of higher education will be remembered as one of the major challenges and accomplishments of the last two decades. This paper introduces the concept of qualitative and quantitative tracking measures to enable a monitoring of progress and quality toward specified objects or targets. The purpose of this paper is: (1) to emphasize the importance of monitoring and evaluating internalization initiatives; (2) to introduce to preliminary measures to track the progress and quality of different elements and strategies of internalization; and (3) to review existing quality assessment and assurance instruments which can be applied to internationalization. The concept of indicators is not new to higher education, but it is relatively new to international education. The importance of monitoring and evaluating internationalization initiatives is explored.
