Abstract

Having acknowledged that the ultimate beneficiaries of IaH (Internationalization at Home) are the students, CLEAR supported the University theme of internationalization at Home through engaging in a TDLEG (16-19) project entitled ‘Supporting the development and implementation of internationalized curricula’. We successfully collected views from CUHK teachers from six faculties, collaborated intensively with two teachers to implement an internationalized curriculum under the guidelines of the 'Conceptual Framework on Internationalization of Curriculum' and organized a teacher workshop conducted on internationalized curriculum by two renowned overseas academics. Built on our experiences in the previous project and re-interpretation of IaH by scholars, CLEAR is ready to sustain the support to CUHK teachers on materializing IaH in the triennium of 2019-22.

The groundwork for promoting widely internationalization at home has been partially laid through the previous project which lasted only one and a half years. This proposed project aims at promoting teachers' understanding of what IaH and enabling strategies entail, enhancing the impact of IaH by involving more teachers in the journey of internationalizing curriculum and disseminating the good IaH practices in teaching and learning in the context of CUHK through co-developing discipline-specific courses by embedding international elements, innovative teaching methods, creative teaching and learning activities, and enhancing students' engagement in the curriculum design. After all, internationalizing learning outcomes, pedagogy and assessment are all at the heart of laH (Beelen & Jones 2015)1•
