As a major aspect of internationalization, international academic mobility has been among the most discussed issues in higher education worldwide in recent years. However, while more and more institutions in many countries show substantial interest in implementing international academic mobility programs, the practices seem to be surprisingly in slow progress in Vietnam higher education . The current study, therefore, aims to fill up the gap by exploring the reality of implementing international academic mobility programs and surveying students’ readiness as well as expectations for international academic mobility programs in the setting of the faculty of English Linguistics and Literature, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University- HCM city. Using data from a semi-structured interview with the faculty dean, a semi-structured interview with 5 students having just coming back from an international academic mobility program to the Philippines in early 2020 and a questionnaire among 78 students coming from 4 continuous cohorts, the findings evidence that (1) Intra-national mobility programs outperform the international ones, (2) Students expect more orientational activities and support from the faculty, (3) Students show high level of readiness for international academic mobility programs, (4) Students are more open-minded in choosing where to go and what to do during international academic mobility programs. Recommendations are well elaborated at the latter part of the study as references for institutions that are considering internationalizing their curricular. The study hopefully sheds light on the feasibility of implementing international academic mobility programs in the setting of Vietnam higher education.

The Ukraine’s integration in the European and global education area and its implications for the academic mobility processes call for understanding the ways and prospects of modernization of the Ukraine’s strategy on exports of education services, strengthening of its position on the international market of education services, intensification of information efforts abroad aiming to convince potential students in the attractiveness of training in Ukraine and wide perspectives of the Ukrainian higher education. The article contains an analysis of the results from an empirical econometric and socio-psychological study devoted to the problems of academic mobility and education migration of Ukrainian youth and foreigners in Ukraine. A comparative analysis of the data shows that education migration processes have similar parameters for foreign students in Ukraine and Ukrainian abroad. The data on the attractiveness of the Ukrainian education for foreign students are analyzed as part of the study, with identifying the factors with impact on the scopes of student migration. The tendency of the continually increasing interest in higher education in Ukraine, in spite of the difficulties (political and economic) faced by Ukraine, is revealed, which is confirmed by the growing numbers of both foreign students in Ukraine and the higher education institutions in which they study. An analysis of the data shows that the education in Ukraine is the most attractive for post-soviet countries. Also, the numbers of education migrants coming from Africa and Asia, in particular from India, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and Ghana, have been stably increasing in 2013–2019. An analysis of interviews reveals that foreign students go to study in Ukraine due to the following motives: the possibility to get high quality education (and return to a home country); low education fees compared with a home country; the optimal “price-quality” ratio etc. It was found out which specialties of the professional training drew special interest of foreign students.   It is shown that the flows of education migration of Ukrainian students to other counties tended to intensify in the latest five years. The education migration was growing year-by-year in 2013/14–2017/18. According to the official statistical data on education migration recorded for 2017/2018, the number of Ukrainians taking education course in other countries reached 76181. The most attractive countries for training of Ukrainian youth and the essential factors behind their choice of country for education are defined. The estimated cost of education programs in selected countries that are the most attractive for Ukrainian youth is analyzed as of the academic period 2017/2018.    It is found out that the prevailing motives for Ukrainians seeking education in other countries are professional and socio-cultural values: higher quality education; better training conditions; good carrier prospects; learning of foreign languages; learning about other cultures. The conducted studies that included student interviews revealed the reasons for the education migration of Ukrainians: inadequate level of professional training in domestic higher education institutions; problems with future job placement with domestic diplomas; corruption; lack of stability in the country and blurred prospects of change for the better.  The conducted study enables to highlight the problematic points of the education migration in Ukraine and outlined the essential steps to reduce the migration flow of Ukrainian youth.

In this paper, we present the status quo and challenges regarding the use of additional languages as a medium of instruction in Brazilian higher education. We begin by contextualizing the importance of the process of internationalization at home (IaH) and additional languages in higher education. Next, the teaching of additional languages in Brazil, which has been until very recently relegated to the private sector and accessible only to an elite, is introduced. We then provide an overview of the present state of affairs of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the country, which is still in its infancy. We move on to describe different ways in which language and content can be integrated in higher education, as well as how EMI can be introduced in disciplinary courses. We finish concluding that EMI can maximize the learning of academic English by Brazilian students and content instructors, as well as encourage a more international higher education and balanced academic mobility by allowing foreign students to study in Brazil while preserving and even increasing the international interest in the Portuguese language. In a country located in the periphery of knowledge production and dissemination, we understand that the adoption of EMI can potentially foster the inclusion of more Brazilians in the global academic and research scenario. It gives them access to the knowledge produced internationally and, at the same time, enables the research produced in the country to be disseminated globally.

The internationalization of the modern educational field correlates with the quality of training of a modern philology specialist, its competitiveness in the national and world labour market, moreover it is outlined as an urgent problem of modern education. The process of internationalization in the context of training Ukrainian philology masters is analysed in view of the urgency of rethinking approaches to the formation of the humanities in Ukraine’s modern higher education institutions. The authors aimed to describe current trends in internationalization based on the case of academic activities, mechanisms and results of internationalization of the Faculty of Philology and Journalism of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatyuk National Pedagogical University. Theoretical methods have been used to interpret the basic provisions and concepts related to the internationalization of national higher education: analysis of scientific developments; comparison of the proposed scientific approaches; synthesis of the content of basic concepts; identification of contradictions during the process of internationalization. At the same time, the study of the peculiarities of professional training of Ukrainian philology masters in terms of internationalization is based on empirical methods: analysis of the regulatory framework; monitoring the activities of all participants in the educational process; survey of students and teachers of the Faculty of Philology and Journalism; study and generalization of the experience of the departments, the department of international relations, the scientific department, the Career Bureau, other structural subdivisions related to internationalization during the training of masters of Ukrainian philology. The systematic approach, which is the basis of the study, allows to consider the educational process (formation of masters of philology) as a dynamic, open to change and quality updates, which actively interacts with the external environment. The analysis allowed to highlight the differences between internal and external internationalization, to outline the main ways of their implementation. As a result, the influence of internationalization processes on changes in the educational activities of applicants for the second (master's) level of the Faculty of Philology and Journalism, in particular the formation of their individual trajectory of professional development. The results of empirical research indicate that the main activities of the university are the development of academic mobility of applicants, the opening of joint educational programs with foreign institutions, the development of international research. The process of internationalization is stimulated by the requirements of the labour market, competitive conditions in the educational environment. The analysis of strategies aimed at improving the level of foreign language proficiency of all participants in the educational process, motivation, methodological and organizational readiness of applicants and research and teaching staff to participate in academic mobility programs, international research projects are the prospects for further research.
