Training and Development in Transnational Higher Education

In an era of increasing globalization, institutions of higher education are no longer bound by national borders. With the globalization of higher education, there is a growing need for further training and development among higher education educators. Teachers as well as their students encounter challenges relating to English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and the vast diversity in the classroom. By actively seeking professional development, transnational educators may enhance their own teaching competencies and careers in addition to student engagement, coping strategies, and critical thinking skills. Training and Development in Transnational Higher Education highlights the importance of training and development within various areas including curriculum design, multicultural competency, and self-evaluation. Covering topics such as character education, university partnerships, and gender dynamics, this book is an excellent resource for educators, school administrators, educational leaders, curriculum developers, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
