Contents/内容预告
International schools have been defined as privately-operated schools that have chosen to deliver a curriculum wholly or partly in English to some or all its students between 3 and 18, in a country where English is not an official language. In recent years, the nature and scope of international schooling has changed considerably, leading to the proliferation of schools that claim to be international, but which may be international in name only. This lecture will introduce BFSU faculty to the different types of international school and will seek to answer the question: what is international about international schools? The lecture will also cover key debates, such as tensions between the utopian aims of international schools (to make the world a "better" place), their often-elitist outcomes (reproducing inequality on a global scale) and the emergence of international schools in China.
国际学校被定义为在非英语国家为3-18岁学生提供全英语或者部分英语授课课程的私立学校。近年来，国际学校的性质和范围发生了很大变化，导致名义上的“国际学校”数量激增，而这些学校可能并不真正国际化。此次讲座将介绍不同类型的国际学校，并试图回答一个问题，即国际学校的国际化是什么。同时，此次讲座还涉及相关议题的探讨，比如国际学校的乌托邦目标（让世界变得“更美好”）、精英主义导向（在全球范围内再现不平等）以及国际学校在中国兴起这三者之间的矛盾与关系。
