Description

<p>The object of this article is to cosider the increasing social trend of intercultural migration and the educational matters brought by this trend from the viewpoint of the concept of global citizenship. For this purpose, I reconsidered conceptual frameworks to understand intercultural migration under the current transnational circumstances. Although the intercultural migration was traditionally seen as one directional, in which there was a departing country and another arriving country, more and more studies now consider it as bi-directional. I attempted multi-layered grasping of intercultural migration and repositioning of migrants as the subject of social change.</p><p>Second, I discussed the relationship between intercultural migration and global citizenship. I examined how the characteristics held by people with prolonged cross-cultural experience, the intercultural literacy and the intercultural tolerance discussed in society, might relate to global competences. I showed the necessity of more social perspective in examining these abilities than the usually expected individual levels of perspective.</p><p>Third, I proposed three future tasks in educational practices from the perspective of the development of global citizenship: (a) addressing global topics and current real issues in the society; (b) promoting constructive learning; (c) increasing opportunities for students to relate to and collaborate with others.</p>
