by Tasawar Nawaz
International Journal of Higher Education and Sustainability (IJHES), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2017

Abstract: Various strands of internationalisation have been researched over the years yet; the empirical evidence on experiences of international students in the host universities is shallow, especially in the context of international graduate teaching assistants (IGTAs). The rapidly changing environment within the higher education has implications for the construction, delivery and management of educational training for this group to ensure sustainability of higher education system. Yet little contemporary research exists investigating the adaptability of academic development and institutions to such change. This paper empirically examines the value-added impact of a teaching and learning program for GTAs using qualitative research method, which offers interesting insights into the phenomenon.
