Internationalization of Learning & Work
Building Understanding Across Cultures and Languages
Our digital-first world is smaller and more connected. People from different cultures, dialects and languages work together and learn together in a single click. It’s a world of great opportunities and challenges where all people should feel welcome.
We have a part to play in making our learning environments more inclusive of different cultures, different dialects, different languages and different levels of understanding.
These courses will help make teaching and learning experiences accessible to the largest number of students.
