Globalization: The world is getting smaller, the word can have negative associations - globalization doesn’t always seem to be for the benefit of the different cultures of their differences but for the predominant ones (mono-culture). Statically interaction – dependency between nations on several levels.
Internationalization: The word is connected to the idea of interaction between nations and therefore seems more positive than the word globalization (plural cultures). The idea seems to be based on the idea of learning from and sparring with different other nations/cultures. The concept doesn’t have to be used on a global scale but can be used between two nations/cultures.
We learned that we could use different internet sites and interact with teachers and classes in other countries, f.eks. via eTwinning.
