It’s time to again check out some of the new titles in study abroad and international education. Some books of note include:- Teaching English Abroad: A Fresh and Fully Updated Guide to Teaching English Around the World by Susan Griffith. I've had plenty of students who wish to go abroad after graduation to teach English. Griffith’s new work is a how-to full of short- and long-term opportunities for both trained and untrained teachers. Covering more than 70 countries, the book provides teaching requirements, contact information and directories for programs that teach teachers how to teach English as a Foreign Language.
- Visions in Global Education: The Globalization of Curriculum and Pedagogy in Teacher Education and Schools: Perspectives from Canada, Russia, and the United States by Toni Fuss Kirkwood-Tucker. The latest in a series, the book is a compilation of some of the latest scholarship in global education, Kirkwood-Tucker is an associate professor emeritus at Florida Atlantic University.
- Education Across Borders: Politics, Policy and Legislative Action edited by James Fegan and Malcolm Field. More than 20 contributors focus on the implications of globalization in higher education. Faculty and administrators at “non-elite” institutions will ind that that text covers challenges that they face in internationalizing their campuses.
