本文首先试图界定多元文化教育（也称为跨文化教育）的历史发展和目前使用的术语。国际学校的兴起是从历史的角度定义国际教育的必要序言;与多元文化教育的比较使定义更加清晰。作者接着提出，跨文化理解是多元文化和国际教育的一个主要的共同目标，应该有助于将这两个领域的学者和从业人员聚集在一起，而文献和实践表明，他们基本上是独立运作的，很少相互参考。加强合作只会在实现共同目标和改进做法方面对双方都有利。本文最后提出了两个领域合作研究的一些建议。
The paper commences with an attempt to define multicultural education (also referred to as intercultural education) with reference to its historical development and current uses of the term. The rise of international schools is then addressed as a necessary preamble to a definition of international education from an historical perspective; a comparison with multicultural education sharpens the definition. The author goes on to propose that intercultural understanding is a principal, common objective of multicultural and international education and should serve to bring together scholars and practitioners in both fields whereas the literature and practice shows them, by and large, operating independently with little reference, one to the other. Greater collaboration can only be of mutual benefit in achieving common objectives and improving practice. The paper concludes with some suggestions for collaborative research across both fields.
