Bridging transcultural divides: Asian languages and cultures in global higher education

Abstract

The impressive and stimulating essays in Bridging Transcultural Divides deal with the cultural and educational issues in the Australian context. The book?s central message is that education for Asian students in Australia, and more broadly in the West, can no longer been seen as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but must be understood as a process of reciprocal learning in which both teachers and students are changed by the experience.
