Abstract | In this chapter, mobility is shown to be giving expression to - and contributing to - the local/global flows of languages and evidence-driven knowledge production about languages education in a world that connects student-teachers and learners moving across educational cultures. We analyse evidence of the internationalisation of school education in terms of Australian school learners' contact with a student-teacher-researcher from China. Through her reflections on her own formation of a mobile transcultural identity, we relate this to her work of forming similar identities among Australian school learners through them learning Chinese. In the context of rapid demographic, cultural, economic and political change associated with the mobility of students, tourists, business migrants and investors from China, this analysis contributes to developing our key concepts of post-monolingual learning and the Australia-China co-production of innovative knowledge. In doing so, we contribute to the contestation of the internationalisation of school education as a one-way flow of 'Euro-American' knowledge in English to countries such as China (Harreveld, 2012; Ferdous & Harreveld, 2012, Singh, 2013b). |
