Mapping the interplay between EMI teacher-practitioners and policy-makers
Friday 05 May 2023 @ 15-00 CEST
It is well known that the process of internationalisation of higher education institutions is predominantly implemented through a top-down approach in which the EMI teacher-practitioners become the EMI front-line representatives instead of policy-makers. Therefore, it is crucial to address the (mis)alignments between policymaking and implementation of EMI, with a specific focus on how the interplay between EMI teacher-practitioners and internationalisation is contextualised and negotiated. As a result, we will base our discussion using the ROAD-MAPPING framework (Dafouz & Smit, 2020) and the conceptual framework of Jane Knight (2005) to pose the following two questions: 1) to what extent does the ROAD-MAPPING of internationalisation illustrate and correspond with the reality of internationalisation and 2) how can EMI teacher- practitioners be actively involved in decision-making related to the internationalisation process.
