Out now - Issue 17 of Learning and Teaching News

The international perspective in learning and teaching

coverIssue 17 of Learning and Teaching News is looking at the international perspective in learning and teaching here at Sheffield. You've no doubt heard some of the many buzzwords and phrases currently being used about this topic but what do expressions such as "developing cultural agility" actually mean? In this edition you can see some practical examples of how students become effective global citizens and you can also find out what the University is doing at a strategic level to put the international perspective into learning and teaching.

April's issue also has updates on the latest developments with 301, the University's new student skills and development centre opening in autumn 2012, and the Languages for All programme. You can read all about this and more by downloading a copy of the newsletter from the box on the right.

Published on a quarterly basis, the newsletter provides up-to-date information on what's happening in learning and teaching here at the University.
