Universities across the U.S. have increasingly emphasized internationalization, leading to rising numbers of international students attending U.S. institutions of higher education. However, these students tend to gravitate toward larger research-intensive universities with many other institutions seeing no increase in international student enrollments. Little is known concerning how to attract international students to regional institutions lacking name recognition. To address the above and promote internationalization through increasing the presence of students from abroad, an academic department at a regional public U.S. college used needs analysis to develop a pilot program for Japanese university students ( N = 13). The program involved a synthesis of English as a Second Language instruction, social justice as a content area, and service learning , in a two-week credit-bearing summer session course. A post-participation survey revealed highly positive reactions, particularly in terms of working with local community members, and broad agreement that the program had been life-altering. The implications for international student program development at regional institutions are discussed.

通过综合英语作为第二语言教学、社会正义和服务学习来招募国际学生

美国各地的大学越来越强调国际化，导致越来越多的国际学生进入美国高等教育机构。然而，这些学生倾向于被更大的研究密集型大学吸引，而许多其他机构的国际学生入学人数没有增加。关于如何将国际学生吸引到缺乏知名度的地区机构，人们知之甚少。为了解决上述问题并通过增加海外学生的存在来促进国际化，美国一所地区公立大学的学术部门使用需求分析为日本大学生开发了一个试点项目（N = 13）。该计划涉及综合英语作为第二语言教学，社会正义作为内容领域，和服务学习，在为期两周的学分暑期课程中。参与后的一项调查显示，反应非常积极，特别是在与当地社区成员合作方面，并且广泛同意该计划改变了生活。讨论了区域机构对国际学生项目发展的影响。
