Early Experiences of Collaboration Alice Oxholm: PG Programme Leader, Education,Childhood & Inclusion Exploring Opportunities for Transnational Professional Development Alice Oxholm TESOL

“The academic adaptation of students who physically move across borders as international students is researched thoroughly, resulting in induction and support systems for students and support for the professional development of staff working with them, however, the matching needs of students and staff on TNE programmes have received less attention” (HEA Burn 2011) Briefly review my first year in a role working with staff in 2 institutions offering English language teacher education courses.
