In today’s somewhat blurry eyed episode of the Think Education podcast, Chris reflects on his (very) recent trip to Taiwan and talks about his long standing relationship with Taiwan and with colleagues there, like Angela. Chris talked about the content of his recent trip and discussed his experience in light of recent podcasts about travel and value.

Judith and Chris talked about language development and classroom practice – both as a tool to support international recruitment and mobility, and as a capacity building approach and Judith shared her reflections and experience on the Japanese example of international teachers. Chris talked about his experience working with EMI teachers in Taiwan and the changes to government policy – over the past few years – that have dramatically increased the percentage of teaching conducted in English in Taiwanese universities.

Judith asked Chris about his experience working with students in different contexts and the types of research they conduct and the challenges they face along the way. Chris talked about the absolute value and intellectual stimulus that can come from meeting with and listening to students from a variety of contexts.

And we learned how easy it is for a, seemingly straightforward question to, quite literally break your brain!
