Guest Editors:

Coupled with the rising trends of unilateralism and anti-globalization, the COVID-19 emergency has brought about huge challenges to international student mobility. Simultaneously, the crisis presents potential opportunities for reconceptualising and revisiting policies of and practices in international education.
In 2018 China hosted nearly half a million international students, ranking as the third most popular destination for international students. The outbreak of the pandemic crisis and the consequent international travel bans present immediate threats to Chinese international education. As a response to the pandemic, Chinese higher education has seen a rapid shift from face-to-face instruction to virtual education using various asynchronous and synchronous communication tools. The impact and effectiveness of these changes require prompt and critical evaluation to ensure the resilience of international education in China, and beyond.
In view of this, this special issue invites Chinese scholars and practitioners to critically reflect on the challenges, responses and impacts of the changes in Chinese international education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The special issue considers original research articles (5000-6000 words), theoretical discussions (2000-4000 words) and reflections of personal experiences with wider implications (1000-2000 words). Manuscripts within the scope of this special issue may address the following topics in the COVID-19 situation:
- National policies on international student education;
- Institutional risk-management strategies and quality assurance practices;
- International student recruitment;
- Online teaching pedagogy, assessment and the application of information and communication technologies (ICT);
- International student learning experiences and satisfaction;
- Academic, financial, technical and mental health support to international students;
- Other related issues.
