The seminar identifies and analyses diverse teaching and learning cultures and academic expectations in their complex international classroom settings. Chances, challenges and best practice models of diversity teaching in German Higher Education are investigated. Through a varied mix of lectures and interactive exercises including case studies, debates, role play, individual and group exercises the participants explore learning environments which integrate intercultural competent teaching with high-quality learning outcomes. The interactive format of the seminar allows the participants to share and reflect on their experiences. They are given the opportunity to develop policies and techniques of teaching delivery, learning activities, intercultural classroom relations, assessment and support strategies for their own international classrooms.
