Abstract

Commercial Services Marketing Tourism tourism education participative action learning-action research (PALAR) work integrated learning (WIL) student commitment cross-cultural education.
International students will be encouraged to study in Australia, so long as economic remuneration to Universities remains. This educational imperative enables engagement of domestic students', including tourism and business students, to develop greater cross-cultural awareness. Experience has proven that these visiting students incur both educational obligation and cross-cultural difficulties in their new environment. The intention of this paper is to conceptualise how innovation, in terms of assessment, combining participative action learning-action research (PALAR) and work integrated learning (WIL) has assisted in creative adaptation and learning that has enhanced cross-cultural relationships. This new radio interview assessment has enhanced cross-cultural learning.
