Inclusive Practice – Supporting International Students

Hosted by Meg, Jake and Kate who are programme tutors in the International Office, this two-hour workshop will explore ways in which colleagues may be able to reconceptualise aspects of their practice to become more inclusive, with a specific focus on working with international students.  

Did you know that YSJ has approximately 6% undergraduate students who come from international contexts and that our current trajectory indicates that by 2024, the percentage will have risen to 12 – 15%. So even if you don’t already teach international students, the likelihood that you will in the future is high. This session will introduce you to effective ways of working with international students, which happen to be inclusive approaches to working with ALL students. You’ll find out about specific approaches, techniques and importantly, support that you (and your students) can gain from the International Office. 

By the end of the session attendees will be able to: 

• Identify common X/Y axis variables in terms of academic experience/background  
• Describe challenges and opportunities related to inclusivity and engagement 
• Locate and deploy ready-made classroom resources and cheat sheets for working with international learners
