The research

This paper is part of a case study of a joint project between two universities with an agent as a third party. Case study as a methodology suggests useful tools for studying complex situations within a specific context. Case study methods are valuable for evaluating programs which is the aim of the present research. The research is therefore qualitative，socio/cultural in nature，as perceptions on experience within the institution of international education are sought from a number of stakeholders holding different positions within the organisations involved in the project. Context is important and the questions being explored are‘what’and‘how’type questions that Yin(2003) recommends as suitable for a case study. In this research we report on the aims and experiences of the key players in the Chinese and Australian institutions that initiated the CAP.The experience of academics teaching into the program has also been explored as these teachers are important players in supporting the initiative (Ng ＆ Nyland，2016) . This paper reports on the experience of three key stakeholders from China and two key stakeholders from Australia who were significant in the initiation and early implementation of this CAP project.(https://www.daowen.com)
