The academic world is more international than it ever was, with international students forming a considerable part of the student population in studies in higher education. The internationalisation of the academic world might lead to problems in the classroom environment, affecting motivation and student participation.
In this report, we looked into the international character of teaching activities at Lund University, linked it to the relevant literature, and interviewed teaching staff about their experiences with the international classroom environment. We show that although internationalisation could lead to several problems regarding motivation and communication, when handled well, it could promote active participation in learning activities.
We finally provide a tool for future international teaching activities, called the “Internationality assessment”. Future projects could focus on the usability of this proposed tool.
