Long description:
This book provides a unique perspective on internationalization in higher education, focusing on the experiences of Chinese business students in Australia. It challenges conventional views by investigating the nuances of Chinese students’ learning, rather than just addressing learning style differences and language barriers. The author’s personal experience as a Chinese international student, and an academic in China turned academic in Australia lends authenticity to the exploration of teaching and engaging with this demographic. The book employs a practice-based study, drawing on the metaphor of ‘becoming’ to examine the everyday practices of five Chinese business undergraduate students. The innovative use of a practice-based theoretical framework influenced by the Chinese philosophical concept of yinyang sets this book apart. This approach illuminates the intricate connections between study practices and socio-cultural influences, offering a holistic understanding of learning. The book uncovers the transformative nature of student learning through interpretative methods such as semi-structured interviews, informal interviews, reflective group discussions, participative observation, and artefacts , highlighting the fluidity and complexity across diverse contexts. This book is a valuable resource for educators and policymakers, offering insights into the ongoing process of becoming that characterizes Chinese students’ learning.
