This course is designed to help lecturers teach successfully in an international environment. We will discuss how content and methods of teaching and learning can be tailored to a diverse audience in order to utilize the potential of student and teacher diversity. We will also question our own (unconscious) beliefs that we as lecturers bring to the teaching process and look at diversity-sensitive communication.

In addition to theoretical input, the course includes interactive activities that encourage participants to reflect on their own teaching and share their own experiences. The aim is to develop a resource- and potential-oriented understanding of diversity, which means that dealing appropriately and critically with diversity in an international environment can promote students' professional and personal development. The workshop includes practice elements for communication and interaction with international students.

By the end of the course, participants will have developed an understanding of how to deal appropriately with diversity in international teaching situations and will be able to design effective teaching and learning processes.

Participants will:

• Explore internationalization and diversity in academic teaching and learning environments
• discuss obstacles and benefits of teaching in an international context
• consider how teaching can accommodate student diversity
• practice interacting and communicating with international students
• develop ideas and ways to deal with existing diversity in their own teaching
