A list of recent research related to pedagogies with international students is provided below. We have also included articles with a specific focus on international students and those that have included them as participants in their research sample.
We recognise that this is only a starting point and is presently incomplete, so we welcome your suggested additions to this list through the following form: https://forms.gle/GJ7R1E4pBfpDPJfg8. Any resources should be empirical rather than theoretical and focus on specific adopted pedagogies with international students.
Resources are organised according to the following categories:
Academic Literacies
Assessment
Curriculum internationalisation
Dissertation support
Intercultural group work
