  • Tourism Education at the Tertiary Level and Competitive Advantage A
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AMH International (E-Journals) Journal of Education and Vocational Research Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 26-35, Apr 2011 Tourism Education at the Tertiary Level and Competitive Advantage: A Comparison between Thailand and Malaysia Thavorn Thitthongkam, John Walsh* School of Management, Shinawatra University, Thailand *[email protected] Abstract: Language plays an imperative role in business as a means and a source of power. It is particularly important in the tourism industry when international customers may be unable to communicate directly with service providers in the receiving country, and this has a direct effect on the level of satisfaction that they enjoy during their experience. To address this issue, countries attempt to various degrees to manage their labour markets so as to produce a number of graduates from secondary and tertiary level educational institutions commensurate with the demand from the sector. However, this is quite a young industry at the global level, and it is not clear to what extent the number and quality of such graduates with international language ability will be required. This paper studies the comparative extent of such education at the tertiary level of individuals in both Thailand and Malaysia. It aims to compare the number and variety of people being trained in the tourism and hospitality industry and the extent to which languages are being taught. Results show that there is something of a disconnection between the languages provided and the languages that tourists desire in terms of their mother tongue.

  • Mobilising Diversity to Achieve Academic Excellence
    MOBILISING DIVERSITY TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE JOINT JEFFREY CHEAH INSTITUTE ON SOUTHEAST ASIA AND SUNWAY UNIVERSITY SEMINAR As is the case in many countries worldwide, the number of 7 March 2016, Monday students participating in higher education in Malaysia has rapidly increased in recent decades, to the point that the 9.00am − 1.00pm gross enrolment rate in Malaysian higher education institutions in 2012 was approximately 36 percent of the relevant student population. Along with this expansion in Sunway University numbers has been an increase in the diversity of the backgrounds of attending students, with implications for educational quality, management, and teaching and learning approaches. A country well known globally for the high quality of its education from the school system to higher education and with considerable experience in catering for student diversity is Australia. In Malaysia, as the system adjusts to student diversity, higher education institutions need to ensure the quality of the academic experience for all attending students, without undermining the integrity and rigour of academic standards. Consequent improvement in students’ academic performance can impact positively on the achievement of graduate outcomes and employability.
