Increasing Intercultural Fluency & Internationalizing the Classroom
In 2013 Selkirk College experienced a rapid increase in international student enrolments in a number of our programs including business and tourism. This was a wonderful opportunity for instructors to increase their intercultural fluency and learn about internationalizing the classroom for resident students who will benefit from broader worldviews.
