Abstract
Learning entails building upon and advancing the learning experience of different categories of students through adequate involvement of the ‘learner’ and the ‘teacher’. Such involvement can be more challenging to navigate for international students, who are primarily faced with the dilemma of meeting both institutional standards and cultural obligations. Therefore, institutions of higher education in advanced countries are ‘tasked’ with the responsibility to develop initiatives, which are focussed on areas that will enrich scholarship in international students learning experience as well as improve the institutions’ practice. This study explores how teaching and professional services staff can be more integrated and closely linked together so as to adequately embrace and promote equality of educational opportunity for a diverse international students’ population.
