1. 引言
2. 教育国际化的定义
教育的国际化是对全球化的反应,是对国家独特性的认识(奈特1999, p. 14)。这意味着它不是一个激进的潮流。也就是说,,这是全球化的自然潮流。要精确定于教育全球化就必须定义全球化。奈特(1999, p. 14)把全球化定义为各国之间的文化、技术、经济等方面的文化差异,由于每个国家的特点,都有不同的影响。
教育国际化的工作定义是国际教育的统一进程。(奈特1999, p. 16)
3.利益与挑战
澳大利亚高等教育的国际化带来了利益也产生了新的挑战。
3.1利益
教育国际化对国际和澳大利亚本土学生都有好的影响。
3.1.1国际学生的利益
澳大利亚的汇率、地理位置和政策或许是很多国际学生来澳大利亚学习的一大原因(汉达 2004, p. 2),他们是:
1. 引言——Introduction
2. 教育国际化的定义——Definition of the internationalization of education
The internationalization of education is reaction to the globalization with recognition of uniqueness of the nation (Knight 1999, p. 14). This means that it is not an aggressive flow. In other words, it is a natural flow by globalization. For precise definition of the internationalization of education, globalization also has to be defined. Knight (1999, p. 14) defines that globalization is the stream such as culture, technology and economy between countries, and each country has a different influence because of characteristic of each country.
Working definition of internationalization of education is a unify progression about international education (Knight 1999, p. 16).
3.利益与挑战——Benefits and Challenges
The internationalization of higher education in Australia has led to benefits and it creates some new challenges.
3.1 利益——Benefits
The internationalization has good influences on both international student and Australian.
3.1.1 国际学生的利益——Benefits for international student
Australia's exchange rate, location and policy might be big reasons why many international students come to Australia to study (Handa 2004, p. 2). These are:
更便宜的美元——Cheaper dollar:
Expenses are one of the most important factor for international students to choose a country, because studying abroad is expended a lot of cost. Australia's exchange rate is relatively lower than the other English-speaking countries.
接近亚洲——Proximity to Asia:
Handa (2004, p.2) mentions that over 75% of international students are Asians. Australia is located to the south of Asia, so it is nearby Asia. Easy of proximity can reduce international students' time and money, such as airmail fees, aviation fees and the equation of time from Asia.
多元文化——Multi-culture:
Australia is a multicultural country. Therefore many nation communities were already formed. Students can experience many cultures of other countries, and also they can purchase their country's things easily.
3.1.2 澳大利亚的利益——Benefits for Australia
更多的外汇收入——Great foreign exchange earner:
International students spend huge amounts of money. For example, they have to pay tuition fee, visa, insurance fee, general living expenses and overseas student health cover. Moreover, international students cannot receive a scholarship, and also they cannot work over 20 hours a week because of their visa problem.
创造工作机会——Creation of occupation:
Internationalization of education creates many occupations, such as student agent and language school lecturer.
人力资源——Human resource:
3.2 挑战——Challenges
班级的被动态度——Passive class attitude:
According to Handa (2004), many international students do not have positiveness in the class. There are two main reasons. One reason is English, because English is not their first language. They have a limitative English problem of expression and understanding, so they cannot have confidence in their speaking. The other reason is different culture background. For example, most of Asia's class style is passivity, so Asian students have been adapted to listening class.
与本地学生缺少交流——Lack of interaction with local students:
