“…Therefore, it is deemed necessary to develop approaches, methods and tools to support this process. To achieve this, some HEIs around the world have engaged in international collaborations, IJSHE 24,7 encouraging students and staff to participate in short-term exchanges, such as summer schools or internships that attract international students to campus and conducting faculty exchanges (Sahasrabudhe et al, 2020).…”

“…Thus, a key component of internationalising HE is creating strategic collaborations to incorporate global, multicultural and international perspectives into teaching, learning and research while also benefiting society (Sahasrabudhe et al , 2020) and delivering the scientific foundation for wise national and international policy (Leal Filho et al , 2021). A strong example of it at the European level is the European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR), an inter-university consortium united by a shared interest in SD and sustainability science, acting as a living lab and contributing to HEI environmental sustainability (Leal Filho, 2020) and education for SD (ESD).…”

Purpose Higher education institutions (HEIs) around the world are engaged in internationalisation efforts. Yet internationalisation per se is associated with significant pressures on the environment and environmental resources, which need to be addressed. This study aims to assess the opportunities, benefits and challenges associated with the internationalisation of universities at a global level. Design/methodology/approach A total of 27 relevant case studies were extracted from the literature to illustrate how HEIs worldwide are ensuring sustainability in their internationalisation efforts. Findings Through case studies of international HEIs, the study lists the opportunities, benefits and challenges associated with the internationalisation of universities at a global level and some of the measures that may be deployed to reduce the environmental impacts of their international activities. Originality/value This study provides a welcome contribution to the literature because it outlines some of the works taking place at universities, where matters related to sustainable development are considered against a background of internationalisation efforts.

“…Bearing in mind that satisfaction helps customers to build opinions and actions (Youl, 2009), the knowledge that students' satisfaction can have a positive mediating effect on the relationship between SDP and internationalization can produce important implications for HEI management. So, as advocated by Sahasrabudhe et al (2020), establishing academic networks to share and exchange best SDP practices will benefit communities all over the world, instill skills and attitudes in students, and make them feel more satisfied and integrated, with more responsibility, thereby facilitating internationalization.…”

“…The SDGs were the inspiration to rethink internationalization in HEIs, emphasizing their environmental impact inside and outside the institution (de Wit & Deca, 2020; Ramaswamy et al, 2021), and contributing to the development of approaches, methods and tools supporting this process (Filho et al, 2023). Thus, a key component of HEIs' internationalization is to satisfy all their stakeholders through creating strategic collaborations to incorporate global, multicultural, and international perspectives in teaching, learning and research (Sahasrabudhe et al, 2020). At the same time, sustainability in internationalization efforts must be ensured (Filho et al, 2023).…”

Using a multi‐layer review based on stakeholder, institutional and legitimacy theories, the current study presents and empirically analyses a novel conceptual framework addressing the relationship between sustainable development practices, internationalization and students' satisfaction in public higher education institutions. Based on participants' self‐perception, a questionnaire was distributed to 738 students at seven Portuguese public higher education institutions. Structural equation modeling was utilized to estimate the multivariate causal relationships. The evidence shows that SDP are positively, directly, and significantly related to internationalization and students' satisfaction. Students' satisfaction is directly and significantly associated with internationalization, also revealing a moderating effect on the relationship between sustainable development practices and internationalization. To achieve legitimacy among their stakeholders, public higher education institutions must build an institutional commitment to sustainability by adopting and disseminating sustainable development practices with actions on a livable campus.

Addressing Challenges in Language Teaching in India: Exploring the Role of Corrective Feedback in Enhancing Learning

Corrective feedback is a crucial aspect of language teaching, which aims to help students improve language accuracy and fluency. While research on corrective feedback has been conducted worldwide, there is a dearth of empirical studies in the Indian context. Despite this gap, several studies suggest that corrective feedback practices in India are based mainly on traditional grammar-translation methods prioritizing accuracy over fluency rather than considering students' needs and learning styles. Issues related to corrective feedback in India include cultural factors, optimal timing, teacher beliefs, technology-mediated feedback, and student motivation. Cultural factors such as societal expectations and values can influence teachers' and learners’ attitudes toward corrective feedback. The optimal timing of providing corrective feedback in ESL writing is also an issue, as the effectiveness of immediate versus delayed feedback on language accuracy and fluency is still unclear. Moreover, teachers' views on corrective feedback may influence their practices and need further exploration in the Indian context. The potential of technology-mediated corrective feedback and its effects on student motivation and self-efficacy also require further research (Doley, 2023). Overall, this review highlights the need for more empirical research on corrective feedback practices in India to inform effective teaching practices and enhance the effectiveness of ELT in the country. Future studies should focus on examining cultural factors that influence corrective feedback practices, identifying optimal timing for feedback, examining teachers' views and practices, examining technology-mediated feedback, and examining the effects of corrective feedback on student motivation and self-efficacy.
