The case is discussed\u00a0within the context of the complex mix of influences operating on higher education\u00a0innovations for internationalisation in Singapore, including the development of\u00a0Singaporean students as global citizens and Australian offerings for the Asia\u00a0Pacific higher education market. The vision and purpose of the summer study\u00a0abroad programme, the students&#8217; motivations and development of cultural\u00a0perspectives, the students&#8217; views of the teaching and learning strategies, and\u00a0teaching styles are explored. The case study draws attention to a variety of issues\u00a0regarding summer study abroad in Australia for Singaporean and possibly other\u00a0Asia Pacific students; in particular the importance of, and the logistical barriers\u00a0to, inter-cultural student engagement. Implications include the need to challenge\u00a0stereotypical views of Singaporean and Australian students, provide structured\u00a0opportunities for inter-cultural engagement, appropriate teaching and learning\u00a0strategies, and support for a reflective approach to inter-cultural learning\u00a0combined with strategies for developing the student group as a community of\u00a0learners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author&#8217;s bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maureen Bell is a Senior Lecturer, Educational Development, in the Centre for Educational Development and Interactive Resources at the University of Wollongong.
