Abstract: A growing body of literature recognises the importance of cultural awareness and collaborative learning in the classroom. The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the emergence of global classrooms providing students with multicultural awareness and learning opportunities. This paper describes innovative inter-campus teaching across two countries utilising the Zoom platform and various communicative learning tools to encourage active engagement. The activities presented students with exposure to multicultural learning experiences and educators with the opportunity to revitalise their pedagogical practice. The findings will be of interest to practitioners and academics who are interested in creating opportunities for a global classroom. Feedback from students suggests that they value the opportunity to connect and collaborate. The paper concludes with the students’ reflective thoughts about the unit and how these discussions can enhance classroom engagement.
