Abstract 

One of the challenges facing higher education institutions (HEIs) across the world is to find fruitful and productive ways to increase interaction between domestic and international students. This article presents an overview of recent research in this area in order to identify ways that HEIs can make a significant leap forward in addressing this issue. This paper will outline the research into this issue and highlight the Interaction for Learning Framework (Arkoudis et al., 2010) as a significant study that is informed by research and practice that can guide academics in enhancing peer interaction between domestic and international students. The article concludes by outlining some key considerations for integrating the framework within broader institutional strategies that focus on internationalising the student experience at home for all students.
