- Title
International Classrooms, Disciplinary Cultures and Communication Conventions: a Report on a Workshop for Content and Language Teachers.

- Abstract
Internationalization of higher education often implies that the language of teaching changes in the institution because of the multilingual and multicultural student group. If this language is a second or foreign language for the students, teachers, and institution, its adoption also implies changes in learning skills, pedagogical approaches, and institutional policies and practices. While the ultimate aim of the degree programme remains the same in terms of fieldspecific expertise, there is often an explicit or implicit aim for the graduates to become competent users of the new language at the professional level required and in this way improve their qualifications and employability for the global labour market. How these two aims could be achieved was the topic of the workshop run for content and language teachers during the ASIGMA conference 2011 held at Transilvania University Bra?ov on 1--3 September, 2011. The theme of the conference was Internationalizing Higher Education: Strategies, Methods and Practices for Quality Assurance.
