Meeting Description:

In an ever globalised world, education systems are being pressured to improve
performance, to cater for students from diverse backgrounds and be able to
teach as accessibly as possible. UK students are increasingly studying abroad
and record numbers of international students are studying in the UK. Research
into ‘international education’ has been conducted across a wide range of
disciplines focusing on specific aspects, from teaching English to speakers of
other languages (TESOL) to improving classroom teaching at UK institutions and
making lessons as understandable and challenging for students as possible.

This strategic objectives of this conference is to strengthen links made by
individuals; groups and research networks with other institutions and
partners, as well as enhancing internal, cross-disciplinary collaborations.
The realisation of these objectives is served by the constitution of an
interdepartmental committee, the diverse themes in the call for papers and the
invited speakers. Their diverse methodologies and perspectives on research
will broaden the knowledge of delegates quantitatively and qualitatively
whilst also fostering the cross-fertilisation of ideas between disciplines.
