Ebook: The New International Studies Classroom: Active Teaching, Active Learning

This innovative volume effectively combines curricular themes and teaching methods to provide practical teaching tools for international studies faculty. The broad range of substantive issues addressed in the book reflects the diversity of actors—national, regional, and international—that respond to global problems. The authors explore new techniques for covering these issues, focusing on the case method, games, simulations, role-play exercises, and uses of technology. Emphasizing linkages between theory and practice, each chapter features classroom activities designed to engage students and encourage critical thinking. Teaching tips and a list of additional resources, submitted by members of the International Studies Association, complete this distinctive handbook.
