Roundtable(v): INT-Undisclosed stories of International Instructors' Perspectives on Teaching and Course Design in United States Universities

• In Event: Gallery Walk Showcase
  In Showcase Session: Gallery 02 - Emerging Technologies in Distance Learning

Short Description

The number of international graduate students in the United States increased every year. International students with teaching experience are more likely to teach undergraduate students as teaching assistants or instructors in U.S. institutions. Even if the international instructors have been in the US for years, they still encounter cultural differences, in terms of teaching philosophy, course design, teaching pedagogies, classroom management, etc. The purpose of this research is to study three female international instructors’ perceptions on their course design, teaching pedagogy, class management, and assessment from their teaching experience in U.S. universities. We hope this autoethnography study will build a chance for people to deeper understanding the international instructors in U.S. universities.
