Description
Higher education seeks to produce interculturally competent students; however, it is not clear how to achieve this as part of the university experience. This study investigated how to develop intercultural competence at a regional Australian university, demonstrating growth in a group of commencing students' intercultural attitudes, knowledge and skills through participation in a series of dialogic forums. A fine-grained analysis of forum moments also revealed how students used interactional tools to facilitate intercultural understandings with diverse others. Implications highlight the importance of promoting dialogic interaction as a means to stimulate intercultural competence in higher education institutions.
