Zhang, Zhe – Language Learning Journal, 2022
The concept of learner engagement has traditionally been examined in the field of education and it has been found to be associated with positive educational outcomes.

Scott, Joy Denise – Higher Education Research and Development, 2014
In this paper, I argue that memoir, as a form of auto-ethnographic research, is an appropriate method for exploring the complexities and singularities in the practice of western educational practitioners who are immersed in the social reality of offshore higher education institutions, such as those in Mainland China. I illustrate this proposition…
