How to apply in writing:
The researcher provides the
significane point on the
importance to revise the
concept ICE with link to the
earlier theory.
yes The researcher revisited the
concept of ICE on education.
The research provide more
reflection on addinng features
of ICE in the
internationalization process
The method of data collection
seems weak because the
researcher only uses limited
documents in developed
countries. It may be good to
compare these data from
different geographical location
with more comprehensive data
from interviews, observations
and other policy makers.
Further research on how to
apply ICE on pedagogical
curriculum
Stier, (2006) The researcher used a comparative single university document from a Swedish university,
an American University and a Canadian university to investigate Intercultural communication education
in the context of internationalization (ICE). Stier argues that ICE is not recognized explicitly in the public
documents, therefore it is important to re-examine the current ICE on internationalization concept. He
further adds that there is a need to introduce ICE competences: “intrapersonal, interpersonal, content
and processual competences” (p.7) into the current and future pedagogical curriculum of
internationalization of higher education.
