Comprehensive and evidence-based, this book presents the best
practices for designing and sustaining study abroad programs to
maximize the outcomes and benefits of education abroad for all
students. Distilling the history, research, and variations of study
abroad programs, Goertler and Schenker provide a clear-eyed
analysis of the lessons learned and the common obstacles associated
with education abroad. Organized in three parts - the state of
education abroad in the US; research on education abroad outcomes;
and best practices - Goertler and Schenker demonstrate the benefits
of long-term study abroad for the development of advanced language
skills and intercultural competence, and the need for diversity in
participation. Chapters offer theory-based, practice-proven
recommendations to invigorate, innovate, and implement successful
study abroad programs that are sustainable and ethically engage
with the local community. The authors discuss design features to
maximize language proficiency and intercultural competence.
Grounded in up-to-date research and theory, the book responds to
the challenges associated with long-term education abroad programs
and provides recommendations on (re)invigorating long-term programs
and diversifying participation in education abroad. From Study
Abroad to Education Abroad is vital reading for academics,
researchers, and students in the fields of language education and
education policy, as well as practitioners, such as language
program coordinators and education abroad administrators.
