Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: What can we learn from teaching Physics in China using English as a medium of instruction?

Teaching Physics to Chinese students in China using English as the medium of instruction poses challenges to both staff and students but addressing the issues raised in setting up the Leeds-SWJTU Joint School has developed a richer more effective way of teaching which benefits all students whether international or native speaking abroad or in the UK. This presentation shows how the universality of Physics itself facilitates teaching international students and gives many suggestions for ways in which all Physics teachers can support their students and staff where language and cultural differences exist.
