Abstract
Internationalization, particularly Internationalization at Home (IaH) is of increasing interest in many universities worldwide and considered as a strategic priority to respond to the challenges of globalization. IaH offers international and global perspectives through formal and informal learning to all students which transforms them as global citizens. Despite the fact that 64% of European universities involved in IaH, there is an inadequacy regarding the institutionalization of the concept in developing countries such as Malaysia. A scarcity of research is evident regarding IaH from the 􀁖􀁗􀁘􀁇􀁈􀁑􀁗􀁖􀂶􀀃􀁓􀁈􀁕􀁖􀁓􀁈􀁆􀁗􀁌􀁙􀁈􀀑􀀃􀀷􀁋􀁈􀁕􀁈􀁉􀁒􀁕􀁈􀀏􀀃the present study examined the relevance of IaH in the context of Malaysian research universities and how IaH can enhance global citizenship among students. The present study also investigates the relationship of key predictors of intercultural competence such as attitude, knowledge and comprehension, skills, and cultural sensitivity with IaH among the domestic students. In addition, the study examined how English language proficiency moderates the relationship between attitude, knowledge and comprehension, skills, cultural sensitivity, and IaH. Moreover, the present study investigates the moderating effect of perceived institutional support on the relationship between IaH and global citizenship.
