Abstract

Abstract This study contributes to the literature studying Internationalization at Home (IaH) as a way to develop intercultural competence in university students. It investigates how a group of students studying at Belgium’s oldest (°1425) and largest mainly white university perceive intercultural competence and their university’s initiatives to promote its development among local students. The results gained from the thematic analysis of 53 semi-structured interviews show that students’ conceptualizations of intercultural competence validate theoretical frameworks and definitions. Also, although students are mainly supportive of their university’s IaH initiatives they also suggest interesting ways to better support students in acquiring intercultural competence.

国内国际化与跨文化能力的发展。比利时大学生的观点

摘要:本研究对国内国际化作为培养大学生跨文化能力的途径进行了文献研究。它调查了一群在比利时最古老(1425年)和最大的以白人为主的大学学习的学生如何看待跨文化能力以及他们的大学在当地学生中促进其发展的举措。从53个半结构化访谈的主题分析中获得的结果表明，学生对跨文化能力的概念验证了理论框架和定义。此外，尽管学生们主要支持学校的国际交流活动，但他们也提出了一些有趣的方法来更好地支持学生获得跨文化能力。
