Internationalization as a result of globalization is a focus in higher education institutions to develop and implement strategies at institutional level to stay competitive in the global market. While internationalization is usually measured with student mobility whether it is in terms of international and exchange, there has been a shift and a push to internationalize in other areas of higher education such as staff and faculty recruitment and retention, cross-culture collaborations and partnerships in research, teaching and learning, and curriculum. Internationalization of teaching and research is now even more needed because the number of international students, exchange, and scholars have been increasing around the world, bringing equity between Global North and South, and to equip current students and future generations to intercultural understanding and awareness through education medium. There are recommendations given towards the end of this paper to implement strategies to internationalize teaching and research practices for faculty, scholars, and practitioners within higher education.
