However, it is often unclear exactly what is meant by engagement. This book goes beyond the policy rhetoric to provide a practice-based explication of international student engagement and its enabling institutional conditions. By utilising a social practice conceptual model, the book explains the multiple dimensions of engagement that are often conflated in policy: the antecedents to engagement, the actions of engaging, and the achievements and outcomes of engagement. As a result, the book is able to address issues such as how English comes to matter in international student academic practice; the teaching and assessment approaches that promote international student engagement; and the metacognitive, cognitive and affective strategies that international students use to achieve academic and personal transformation Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 13, 2017) Subject Students, Foreign -- Services for -- Western countries College students -- Services for -- Western countries College student development programs -- Western countries College environment -- Western countries Student adjustment -- Western countries Universities and colleges -- Western countries -- Administration Students -- Services for -- Western countries EDUCATION -- Higher.
