ABSTRACT
International students have brought a range of socio-cultural, intellectual, and economic benefits for Asian countries such as "human capital investment, knowledge transfer, and national capacity building" (see Chan, 2012, p.221). [...]I would like to call for attention from colleagues in international education community to prioritize ISM in Asia in their research agenda, including comparative research across countries and regions. [...]current and future scholars on ISM in Asia should consider overlooked or under-researched areas, including (i) horizontal perspective (i.e., geography), the extant studies mainly focus on Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, or South Korea as studied samples. [...]the under-represented destination countries of international students to be considered in future studies may include Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, or Vietnam. (ii) vertical dimension (i.e., level of education), since the current literature on ISM in Asia mainly focus on undergraduate levels, future research may pay more attention ton underresearched education sectors such as postgraduate studies, school and vocational education and training sectors. (iii) Another potential avenue is the research of ISM in Asia and COVID-19. [...]it is apparent that ISM in Asia has become an essential component of the current ISM across the globe.
