Developing Cross-Cultural Awareness in Higher Education Through the Use of Video-Logs Focusing on Critical Incidents

Abstract

The attention for cross-cultural and intercultural awareness is gaining ground within education theory, as well as in educational policies while it remains little explored in practice (Baker, 2015). Higher Education institutions are promoting a variety of internationalization initiatives, including attracting foreign teachers and students, sending abroad their students for long periods, as well as offering face-to-face, online and blended teaching in a variety of languages – although English dominates this side of the internationalization process.
