Abstract |
This paper focuses on an under-investigated group of international students in Japan, those who make up the cadre of university teaching assistants. Using data gathered from interviews with internatio...nal students working as teaching assistants at two Japanese universities and teachers in a language program using teaching assistant programs, this research project intends to build a clearer picture of how internationalization in university operates in classrooms. Using qualitative data analysis, this paper concludes that international students in the role of teaching assistants have the potential to gain a great deal from the experience, but that from the perspective of possible benefits for students and teachers, they remain an underutilized resource.show more
