Drawing upon Deardorff's process model of intercultural competence as a theoretical framework, the study aims to explore the factors that influence Chinese students' acquisition of intercultural skills and their understanding of intercultural competence within the context of internationalization at local Chinese universities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the global higher education landscape, the phenomenon of \"internationalization at home\" holds immense significance, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chinese higher education is actively participating in this process, seeking to enhance the intercultural competence of its students. This book specifically focuses on investigating the factors that shape Chinese students' development of intercultural competence and their comprehension of it within the framework of internationalization at local Chinese universities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe findings of the study reveal that numerous universities in China are implementing various strategies to improve domestic students' intercultural competence. These strategies encompass foreign language learning, extracurricular intercultural communication activities, and international cooperation programs. It is noteworthy that the outcomes of these efforts exhibit diverse effects. Based on these findings, the book proceeds to discuss the potential theoretical, practical, and policy implications of the study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for students and scholars engaged in comparative and international education, student development, cultural studies, Chinese studies, and those with an interest in Chinese higher education. It provides a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Chinese students as they navigate the complexities of intercultural interactions in an increasingly globalized world. By shedding light on the development of intercultural competence among local Chinese students, the book contributes to the growing body of knowledge in this field and offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and practitioners working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 450g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032596280\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xiaoqing Wang,Kun Dai","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44705023918330,"sku":"9781032596280","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1698427575620_book.jpg?v=1698654363","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/developing-intercultural-competence-at-home-domestic-students-experiences-in-chinese-universities-9781032596280","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
