Sinopsis:

Globalisation and Internationalisation of Higher Education in Malaysia is a timely and much awaited collection of thought-provoking and well researched academic articles by renowed academics in higher education institutions in Malaysia. Authors of each chapter skillfully contemplate and effectively discuss various issues and challenges surrounding the landscape of public and private higher education in Malaysia. The in-depth discourses on the topics are wide-ranging enough to appeal to all readers yet carefully structured to also suit specialized readers. Topics range from understanding undergraduate student experience, empowering learners with literacy skills, grooming ‘resistant’ readers, tackling employability concerns, internationalising university curriculums, understanding authentic assessments to handling the linguistic and cultural diversity rankings and enhancing quality university teaching through the use of ICT and blended learning. For the first time in Malaysian higher education, finally a truly comprehensive and well-focused book that can help provide much-needed platform for other academics to strengthen their understanding on the literature on global and market forces is published. This book also increases their understanding on how Malaysian public and private institutions are responding and reacting to higher education demands in todays increasingly globalised and worldwide interconnectedness.
