Intercultural communication: critical approaches and future challenges

Abstract

supervision and the dissertation writing period’ (p. 24) to serve the focus of the study. Though there is some debate in the literature in terms of the duration one needs to collect data before a case study can be associated with longitudinal research, the duration of five to six months for the supervisees to work on their dissertation in this study may not feature as a classic longitudinal case study. Furthermore, it is a pity that Clara and Janet’s supervisors declined to be interviewed and so the authors were denied the opportunity to view the events from their supervisors’ perspectives. Overall, however, Experiencing master’s supervision: Perspectives of international students and their supervisorswill certainly offer valuable food for thought with regards to the supervision of international students in the global context. Therefore, I would recommend this book to students, teachers, researchers, and policy-makers as a useful and comprehensive resource for understanding the complex dynamics of the supervisory journey and exploring its intriguing nature in different contexts.
