The present article explores the experiences of two international graduate students who studied in the United States and how they dealt with the challenges of living in a new country. The researcher was inspired by Bhabha's (1994) third space theory and aimed to investigate how these students tried to create a space for themselves in the classroom…

The need for a shift in approach to dance education and non-Eurocentric dance forms in postsecondary dance programs is apparent. This paper begins with a fundamental "why" and then offers the frameworks of gnosis (knowledge by perception) and episteme (knowledge by systematic study) and process-based teaching-learning as viable…

As primary architects of the 'global classroom,' local faculty who teach visiting U.S. students at study abroad centers across Europe play a critical role in the study abroad experience. This article draws on theories of commodification in study abroad as well as transformative learning theory to unpack how and why local faculty bend to the U.S.…

Every year, the U.S. witnesses an increase in the number of international students pursuing higher education. Researchers, who have focused primarily on international undergraduates, have suggested that international students often encounter various acculturative stressors while adapting to new academic and living environments. Moreover, there is…

This essay highlights a critical assessment approach for intercultural communication courses that engages in a "doing--undoing" practice for instructors, with the aim of "doing" culture as learned through society and traditional intercultural communication instruction with the limited, romanticized, and settler colonial…

Academic cheating is a pervasive problem in many universities globally. The present double-blind randomized controlled field experiment tested whether reminding university students about academic dishonesty sanction policies would reduce their cheating in an actual exam. Students were assigned to either a Sanction Reminder or a No Reminder…

Globally, nationally, regionally, and locally, we are facing a population shift. The number of individuals aged 65 and older will increase exponentially in the coming years, particularly for racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse groups. People are living longer but not necessarily healthier lives. This increase in longevity, coupled with a…

Culture-based mathematics learning (C-bMLI) has emerged as a promising approach to improving students' mathematical skills, yet previous research presents inconsistent findings regarding its efficacy compared to conventional methods. To address this gap, a meta-analytic study is needed to consolidate and present the latest insights regarding the…

A differential cultural aspect manifested when we compared the experiences of 96-Jewish and 107-Arab PSTs who participated in a collaborative academy-class-practice- model (ACPM), or a traditional-practice-model (TPM). The attempt to implement the collaborative ACPM was hesitantly accepted by Jewish-PSTs, whereas the Arab-PSTs welcomed it warmly.…

When international students study at United States higher education institutions, they often encounter challenges that impact acculturation and academic success. This study applied community-based research to explore these students' experiences and discuss solutions in the form of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). I conducted semi-structured…

This study addresses the status and conduct of the Arab lecturer in Jewish-Hebrew academia in Israel, and how this impacts Arab students. The study is conducted through the self-research of a case study, in light of my having served as an Arab lecturer in Hebrew academia for more than two decades. The case study is based on my students' written…

Multicultural plagiarism is a challenge for the online educator in North America that continues to grow as students enroll from more countries. In not recognizing the "why" and "how" of multicultural plagiarism there can be an immediate reaction to say "You are wrong!" or "You plagiarized!" While on the…

Despite the rapid development of TNHE over the past decade, research studies on students' perceptions and experiences of teaching and learning at TNHE programmes in China are very limited. Using both surveys (328) and follow-up interviews (40) from students at two Anglo-Sino programmes, this study explores students' perceptions and experiences of…

Even though the number of culturally and racially diverse students in the United States continues to rise, most teachers in our schools continue to be white females. When they enter classrooms without having critically examined the ways that they have been shaped by their own cultures or the ways that schools can perpetuate or disrupt…

Disagreement is face-threatening but necessary for teachers to correct errors and prompt learning. However, little research has examined how teachers employ disagreement as feedback, especially from a multimodal perspective. This study investigated the differences in linguistic markers (LMs) and accompanying nonverbal behaviours (NVBs) associated…
