For each, think of a nationality who are said …
… to treat their wives very badly. … to be very hypocritical. … to be cruel to their children. … to be un-hygienic. … not to have proper meals … to be cold and hard, like their weather

Classic Misattribution Error When we do good – it’s down to us. When we do bad – it’s down to
circumstance.
When ‘they’ do good – it’s down to circumstance.
When ‘they’ do bad – it’s down to them.

Review Internationalisation is about higher education
responding to a globalising world One model proposes the twin dimensions of
cross-cultural capability and global perspectives
Communication across cultures is a key aspect of cross-cultural capability
Understanding the barriers erected by our own cultural norms, values, schemas, and practices is an important attribute

Review
May be more relevant to our home students than our international students
Home students further disadvantaged by speaking English as a first language
We need to develop & model good practice Perhaps – effective intercultural group work is
a key ‘tool’ to enable our students to be more effective in this dimension of global citizenship
