Fostering the development of intercultural confidence as an integral part of university education

在高等教育国际化的背景下，更好地理解社会和文化多样性所创造的机会，可以带来巨大的教育和社会效益。该研究将为创新教学实践的发展提供概念基础，该实践利用多样性来提高所有学生的国际和国内专业实践准备。它直接涉及国家研究优先事项，即通过加强对不同文化和社会界面的相互理解，提高澳大利亚解释和参与其区域和全球环境的能力。

A better understanding of the opportunities created by social and cultural diversity in the context of internationalisation of higher education can lead to substantial educational and social benefits. The research will provide a conceptual basis for the development of innovative teaching practices, which capitalise on diversity to enhance all students', international and domestic, preparation for professional practice. It directly addresses the national research priority of enhancing Australia's capacity to interpret and engage with its regional and global environment, through greater reciprocal understanding of the interface of diverse cultures and societies.
