Some reflections on historical research and international interchange.
Paper presented at the U.S.-German Conference on Research on Exchanges, Bonn, West Germany.
Abstract:
Prepared for Conference on Research and International Exchange, Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany, 1980. A state-of-the-art report on the need for historically-informed students on specific characteristics of exchanges in conjunction with segments of societies. The briefly described cases in point include subjects that would enrich the work of historians. More specifically the particular illustrations are: the mobility of recent generation among scientists between Europe and America, the contribution of traveling scientists and related technicians to the industrializing countries during the nineteenth century; the modernization of traditional societies in the light of historical parallels, the wandering scholars, and revolutions around the world. Each of them exemplifies the impact of educational exchange upon societies.

Global study: Smooth or bumpy ride: Global study is to diversity as internship is to job experience.
The Black Collegian Online, 10. [On-line].
Abstract:
A year or two of global study, or international study as it is often called, increases not only your value to an employer in very practical ways, but also, depending upon where you study, your racial perception of the source of the way you act, think, play, and pray. In most countries, you can expect a very smooth ride in the host country housing the international program you select; in some, you can expect a bumpy ride. But even a bumpy, global study ride may be useful to an employer as an indicator of a resourceful, pioneering spirit. A given country may offer specific values to specific corporations because of its natural resources. Zaire, for instance, has large deposits of gold and diamonds. But except for ties of well-known corporations to internationally strategic European countries and to Japan, these ties are difficult for you as a student to know. You need not, however, undertake global study from a basis of specific corporate ties to a country. Global study is as important as an indicator of a type of diverse person as it is an indicator of a person with specific language and cultural skills. It is important to you psychologically, for it is likely to help you understand the source of your own cultural responses, responses often thought of as racial or ethnic. This later reason is somewhat subtle, based as it is on Carl Jung's notion of the subconscious as a collection of archetypal images. The focus here is both the practical as well as the psychological reasons for global study. The easier, practical reason, diversity, first.

1983 Report of the United States advisory commission on public diplomacy.
Washington, DC: Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy.
Abstract:
Findings and recommendations of a government commissioned study on the United States Information Agency (USIA) are presented. The first of six substantive sections summarizes commission recommendations concerning the following USIA activities and their government funding: Voice of America Radio broadcasts, the Office of Research, cultural exhibits, private sector programs, donated books, and English teaching abroad. The next section describes the membership and activities of the commission. The role of the USIA in public diplomacy, the third section, emphasizes the recent expansion of activities and suggests means for continuing this expansion. The Voice of America and various USIA television services are addressed in the fourth section. The fifth section considers educational and cultural programs of the USIA, including exchanges, international visitors, university affiliations, private sector programs, libraries, and teaching programs. A final sixth section, on agency management, focuses on the agency's relocation to Washington, District of Columbia, the need for increased personnel, and current management problems. Appendices describe a radio broadcast to Cuba and list the former advisory commission members.

Outcome assessment of the U.S. Fulbright scholar program.
Stanford Research Institute. (Project No.: P10372).
Abstract:
In 2001, SRI surveyed a stratified random sample of 1,004 U.S. Fulbright Scholar alumni whose grants began between 1976 and 1999. The SRI assessment found strong quantitative and qualitative evidence that the program is achieving it legislative mandate of promoting mutual understanding and cooperative between the United States and other nations and that it has diverse and often powerful impacts not only on the Scholars themselves, but on their colleagues, students, friends, and families.

Student perceptions of study abroad programs: A survey of US colleges and universities.
Marketing Education Review, 9(1), 29-36.
Abstract:
This study examined 656 students' perceptions of international education and study abroad programs. Respondents included business students from seven universities, both public and private, across the United States. The research addressed four issues: general perceptions of international course work; general perceptions of study abroad programs; perceptions of study abroad program costs in both time and money; and desired program characteristics. The results indicated that many of the students were misinformed regarding their university's programs. The research offers insight for developing and modifying study abroad programs that will encourage student participation.

Internationalization of the undergraduate curriculum: Insight from recruiters.
Journal of Teaching in International Business, 11(4), 55-80.
Abstract:
Historically, business schools have been encouraged to internationalize their programs. The need is still great today. Many scholars have addressed the issues of international curriculum development, particularly at the M.B.A. level. Fewer have examined the problem from a B.B.A. level. This paper specifically examines the internationalization issue at the B.B.A. level through the input from recruiters on college campuses. This study determined that recruiters from different companies respond to international credentials differently. Individual responses to conjoint profiles from 68 recruiters were cluster analyzed. Four separate clusters of recruiter preferences are reported. Variation was found in the type of degree that was preferred, the demand for language training, the value of an international internship and the reaction to study abroad programs.

From tour guide to teacher: Deepening cross-cultural competence through international experience-based education.
Journal of Management Education, 21(168), 168-169.
Abstract:
Research suggests that cross-cultural competence can best be developed through face-to-face contact with other cultures. In light of this, many universities seek ways to provide strong, cross-cultural exposure to students. The authors describe an innovative 8-day sojourn to Mexico, in which students and faculty experience cross-cultural immersion through activity-based learning. Design issues and key earnings for educators who seek to develop or enhance cross-cultural management education programs are discussed. Feedback from student and faculty participants is included.

Does study abroad make a difference? An investigation of linguistic and motivational outcomes.
(Doctoral dissertaion, Emory University). Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 63, 1279A).
Abstract:
The purpose of this mixed-methodology study was to investigate linguistic and affective outcomes of summer study abroad (SA) participation by 25 college French students. This investigation sought to determine if significant changes occurred in two linguistic factors, oral and listening French skills, and two affective factors, integrative motivation and language anxiety, after SA. This study also investigated whether pre-SA affective differences existed for SA participants versus non-SA peers. Findings were interpreted in relation to Gardner's Socio-Educational Model (1985) which posits that success in foreign language learning depends not only on aptitude by also on learner perceptions of native speakers and learner willingness to identify with aspects of linguistic and non-linguistic behavior that characterize native speakers. Results demonstrated that significant improvements occurred in French linguistic skills and significant decreases took place in classroom and non-classroom language anxiety after SA. Integrative motivation levels of the SA group were unchanged after the experience, however, integrative motivation levels of students with more than two years of college French (n = 12) were significantly improved. Pre-SA affective differences did not exist between SA participants and non-SA peers. Analysis of interviews and program evaluations suggested that participants faced two sources of language anxiety while abroad: linguistic insecurities and cultural differences. Many students reported disappointments in terms of cultural misunderstandings (especially within host families) and lack of contact with native speakers. Implications of this study include (1)the need for greater pre-SA emphasis on non-academic factors by administrators, (2) the necessity for SA programs to include contact with native speakers as part of in-class as well as informal learning, and (3) the imperative for FL teachers to infuse the curriculum with cultural competence by integration of authentic materials, technological resources, and contact with native speakers.

Federalism, diplomacy and education: Canada's role in education-related international activities, 1960-1984.
(Doctoral Dissertation, University of Toronto). Available at University of Toronto Research Repository.
Abstract:
Amongst Western nations Canada has had the rather unique distinction of not having a centralized Ministry of Education. The division of powers in the Canadian constitution assigned education to the provincial governments while constitutionalresponsibility for foreign affairs was assigned to the federal government. As a result of this separation of powers, there has been an mgoing and unsatisfactory effort on the part of both federal and provincial governments to address the difficult issue of who represents Canada in the field of education abroad. In the period following the end of the Second World War, indifference towards the question gave way to ad hoc treatment of the issue by the federal government. The provinces and federal government tried to insuIate themselves from divisive issues by delegating them to pan-national educational organizations. The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) is the closest equivalent to a national, ministerial-level education orgmization in modem day Canada. Dunng the 1960s. the constitutional differences could not be regulated between the two levels of government. Instead, the continued unsatisfactory relationship combined with incipient nationalism led to conflict. The government of Quebec declared that the provinces were institutionally capable of representing their own interests in diplomacy in education. The federal response in the 1960s cm be traced from Mitchell Sharp's publication of the pamphlet Federalism and International Conferences on Education in the spring of 1968, at the height of the crisis with Quebec. This publication was as much a response to conternporary events. as it was the portent of a broader, more hands-on approach to the issue by the federal govemment. While the 1960s were punctuated by the broadsides from Ottawa and Quebec as the issue becarne tied to Quebec nationaiism, the 1970s and early 1980s were characterized by uncornfortable compromise over the question. The changing international system, the OECD Review, and the ongoing federal-provincial jockeying combined with the new presence of the CMEC, did not help in the regularization of this relationship. Since there has never been closure over this issue, diplomacy in education continues to be ad hoc and an important test of Canadian federalism.

Major obstacles and best practices in international educational exchanges.
Washington, DC: Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
Abstract:
To study best practices in the area of international exchange, a survey was conducted of member institutions of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. Responses were received from 19 institutions about practices, activities, services, and other program aspects considered to be exemplary. Questions were also asked about challenges and obstacles to international exchange among colleges. Some universities appear to be faring well in international exchange, with more qualified international applicants than they can accommodate and an international staff that is adequate in numbers and efficient in its tasks. Others are not doing that well. The issue of finances permeated all responses to all survey items, and all respondents asserted that increased financial support is a key ingredient for successful progress toward their goals. Institutional commitment to the goals of international exchange was frequently identified as an obstacle to exchange programs. The need for a central office to coordinate international exchange was cited as an advantage by institutions that had such an office, and as an obstacle by institutions that did not. Almost all institutions indicated that the requirements of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Internal Revenue Service imposed a formidable burden on international staff time and resources. This study was designed and carried out before September 11, 2001, and since then, it appears that challenges to international educational exchange have increased. An appendix lists the responding institutions.

Internationalization and exchanges in a globalized university.
Journal of Studies on International Education, 5(1).
Abstract:
Internationalization in higher education is an inevitable result of the globalized and knowledge-based economy of the 21st century. Other trends affecting the universities, including diversification, expansion, privatization, and so on, also have implications for the international role of academic institutions. The intersection of the logic of globalization and other pressures facing universities make a reconsideration of international programs and strategies necessary. Exchanges, university linkages, patterns of mobility, and international and regional arrangements among universities are all changes.

Beyond September 11 - A comprehensive national policy on international education.
Washington, DC: American Council on Education.
Abstract:
The events of September 11, 2001 have driven home the lesson that, like it or not, U.S. citizens are connected with people the world over. The global transformations of the last decade have created an unparalleled need in the United States for expanded international knowledge and skills. However, the United States is not ready. There is a dangerous shortfall of individuals with global competence. The responsibility to reverse this trend lies with the U.S. educational system in partnership with government and the private sector. The United States must invest in an educational infrastructure that produces knowledge of languages and cultures and is able to train a sufficient and diverse pool of students to meet the needs of government agencies, the private sector, and education itself. This paper focuses on the partnership between the federal government and education institutions in international education. It calls for an urgently needed comprehensive national policy on international education that: (1) identifies national policy objectives for international education; (2) outlines specific strategies for meeting these objectives; and (3) provides the national programs, administrative structures, and resources required to implement these strategies. One appendix describes key federal programs promoting international education strategies, and another provides some facts and features of international education in the United States.

Perception of the impact of international education: Japanese vs. American students.
Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, 1996, New York, NY.
Abstract:
This study of Japanese and American exchange students focuses on the "perceived" rather than on the "real" impact of international education on one's own society and on the society hosting the foreign student. The Japanese and American students' perceptions of the impact of their studies on the politics, economy, technology, education, knowledge expansion, and international relations of their home country and their host country were researched. The view of both the American and Japanese students on the impact of international education was, in general, positive.

Using critical incidents to investigate cross-cultural transitions.
International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 25(1), 41-53.
Abstract:
The process of cross-cultural transition is of interest to researchers who attempt to uncover factors that lead to sojourner adjustment and cross-cultural effectiveness. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the perceived stressors and coping strategies of Canadian post-secondary students during a 7-week cross-cultural Seminar program in Vietnam. Using a critical incidents methodology, the study tracked both the common and unique experiences of students. Specific critical incidents were collected from students at six time points regarding experiences that were stressful, selected coping strategies, use of social support, shifting views of self and perspectives about international development. Results from the study are discussed with suggestions for pre-departure training programs and the use of critical incidents as a tool for understanding cross-cultural transitions. [Author].

Abstract:
The International Agriculture Section promotes the engagement of the land-grant university system in service to the global community. As detailed here, there are critical issues facing us today. Our challenge is to take the collaborative nature of the agricultural, natural resource, food and nutrition sciences found within the American land-grant universities to the global community. The integration of research, teaching and outreach historically transformed the economic development of our country; we envision the possibility in achieving the Millennium Development Goals through the establishment of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and our role in meeting the food, environmental, and energy challenges of the future.

Globalisation and higher education: Guidance on ethical issues arising from international academic activities.
London: Association of University Teachers & Development Education Association.
Abstract:
There are seldom quick and straightforward answers to ethical dilemmas. This document cannot and does not attempt to address all the possible issues which may arise when university staff are contemplating or engaged in international work. In developing the document attention has been paid to roles university staff may be called upon to play in international academic activities; in particular, those arising from recruitment and teaching of and support of overseas students and from collaboration with overseas institutions through franchising arrangements and research which either draws on material from other countries and/or involves collaboration with colleagues overseas. With these activities in mind, further consideration is then given to two areas where it is felt ethical issues are most likely to be presented in a university environment which is becoming increasingly competitive and driven to secure 'commercial' income - human rights and environmental sustainability. It is the premise of this document that principles underlining these two issues, while not uncontroversial, are nevertheless fundamental to a notion of academic professionalism and the idea of the 'role of service' generally held by those concerned with the provision of higher education.

Learning interdependence: A case study of international/intercultural education of first-year college students.
Columbia, SC: National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, University of South Carolina.
Abstract:
Administrator, faculty, and student voices come together to describe a unique experiment in intercultural education at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York. Challenging the notion that study abroad programs are best suited for "mature" students, faculty and administrators designed an intercultural, interdisciplinary course for first-year students, spanning an entire academic year. The book includes information on program development and student outcomes, with an appendix featuring syllabi from six courses based on the model. Learning Interdependence is equal parts travel log, curriculum design guide, and personal diary. As we struggle with the meaning of education on a shrinking, increasingly connected planet, this book offers a bold new way of thinking about teaching and learning in the first college year.

Developing program standards for international educational exchange.
Evans City, PA: NAFSA Publications.
Abstract:
The growing volume of international exchanges involving teenagers has prompted government agencies, professional associations, and individual exchange organizations to focus attention on the quality and competency with which such programs are being conducted. This article describes the efforts of one youth exchange organization to articulate quality standards and implement those standards throughout its worldwide operations. From this experience, three areas of consideration are identified as pivotal in the standards development effort: 1) contextual considerations, which refer to those factors that influence the standards effort both within the field of international educational exchange and within the particular exchange organization; 2) procedural considerations, which refer to the strategic and tactical steps that might be devised in order to respond to the major contextual factors; and 3) substantive considerations, which refer to the actual contents of the standards effort, including definitions, categories of activities, and formulations. Finally, the article recommends strategic emphases which could help to accelerate the pace of standards development for the exchange field generally.

Abstract:
In itself study abroad is a kind of ethnography: the student or scholar travels to a foreign country, collects information about the people and the culture and then, in some way or another, reports the experience. In this paper I want to try to pick out some important aspects of the student as ethnographer and especially those which relate to the student's perceptions of 'abroad', the main aims of study abroad and the value of reporting back.

Abstract:
This paper records the results of a study involving non-specialist language students, who spent a period abroad as part of degree programmes in business or administration studies. The aim was to gain insights into the experience of students for whom a priority during the period abroad was to continue study of core subjects other than languages and to find out what linguistic challenges they faced and how they felt they coped.

Focusing on Israel as its test case, this article offers suggestions for ensuring safety in countries of conflict. At the same time, it lays the groundwork for assuring a balanced approach to studying the present conflict in Israel within the framework of a course in christology while addressing the demands of Seattle University's Catholic Jesuit philosophy.

The international student exchange network: 1970 & 1989.
Higher Education, 30(4), 353-368.
Abstract:
Using data published in UNESCO Statistical Yearbooks (1972 & 1991) on the 50 countries with the largest number of exchange students, this article describes the international student exchange network and its changes between 1970 and 1989. The results indicate that the network changed significantly over this 20-year period. While the United States and some Western developed countries have remained at the center of the network, Asian and Middle Eastern countries have become more central and African countries have become more peripheral. The changes of the network reflect the hierarchical structure of the hegemonic powers in the modern world system.

Internationalization of universities: a university culture-based framework.
Higher Education, 45(1), 43-70.
Abstract:
This paper employs Sporn's(1996) organizational culture typology indeveloping a framework to assist in theunderstanding of the process ofinternationalization of universities. Both thecollegial process and executive authority areacknowledged as necessary to position theuniversity to bring about substantive,integrated, university-wideinternationalization in response to pervasiveand rapidly changing global environmentaldemands. Internationalization, viewed as anorganizational adaptation, requires itsarticulation by the leadership whilesimultaneously institutionalizing a strategicplanning process that is representative andparticipative in that it recognizes andutilizes the power of the culture within whichit occurs. The orientation and strength of theuniversity culture and the functioningstructure can be inhibiting or facilitating ofthe strategies employed to advanceinternationalization. Two examples arejuxtaposed to illustrate the range ofcircumstances confronting universities in acomplex and dynamic external environment andtheir responses with respect tointernationalization. Drawing from theseexamples, discussion centers on the alignmentof internal culture with theinternationalization objectives and strategiesselected by the institution in order to enhanceeffectiveness of outcomes. It is concludedthat the framework provided helps to understandthe different approaches tointernationalization and may be helpful fromboth a managerial and research perspective.

Rethinking Canada: Canadian studies and study abroad.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 6(Winter), 59-72.
Abstract:
Canada is certainly among the least understood of the numerous countries on the "shopping list" of American students planning to study abroad. For this reason, it is often passed over by students who might choose otherwise if they were better informed. Students thinking about an international experience may know little if anything about most countries under consideration—this they will freely admit. But most people believe they know Canada cold: "It's just like the United States." And it is not really "abroad," not even in the sense that Mexico can be considered "abroad" because of the stark cultural contrast that exists between Mexico and the United States.

W.E.B. Du Bois as a study abroad student in Germany, 1892-1894.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 2(Fall).
Abstract:
This paper examines Du Bois's study in Germany, making use of a variety of documents relating to his stay in Berlin. Du Bois describes his life as a student in Berlin quite vividly in chapter 10 of his Autobiography, which is largely based on diaries and notes Du Bois kept as a student. The Du Bois papers stored at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst)' provide an interesting perspective on chapter 10, for here we can see the diaries in their original form, unedited by Du Bois, who wrote the Autobiography many years later and who left out much that is of interest not only to students of Berlin in the 1890s but also to biographers of Du Bois. In this paper I will draw not only on his correspondence and Autobiography but also on unpublished sources, including documents I found in Berlin. Although the focus will be on Du Bois, it is also important to sketch in the cultural and political climate of the time, since this provides the setting for Du Bois's development and helps explain some elements in the further course of life.

Globalisation and higher education research.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 7(2), 128-148.
Abstract:
Globalisation has become one of the key concepts in the social sciences today. In higher education research, too, the term is used frequently. Maybe even so frequently that it sometimes seems possible to pronounce virtually anything under the heading of globalisation. This article attempts to identify the various interpretations of globalisation in general, as well as in higher education research. It will do so in an interdisciplinary manner. The different interpretations of globalisation are related to the different past realities that are taken as a point of departure. Four different conceptualisations are identified and will be further explored. These are also explored for the field of higher education research. The following broad topics are identified in this field: the changing nature of international linkages, government authority over higher education, threats to diversity, and the loss of national identities.

A model international program for the year 2000.
Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the League for Innovation in Community Colleges, "Leadership 2000", San Francisco, CA.
Abstract:
in keeping with a recommendation of the Commission on the Future of Community Colleges that students be informed about other peoples and cultures, Foothill College (FC) has implemented a number of programs with an international focus. These efforts include the following: (1) the F-1 Visa Program enabling students from other countries to remain in the United States until they complete their degree requirements; (2) the First Year Experience Guidance Program providing counseling and a 6-week, one-credit college orientation for international students; (3) FC's and the American Institute for Foreign Study's joint Campus Abroad Program, in which FC faculty teach credit courses to FC students at overseas locations; (4) intensive short-term programs conducted through sister schools in Japan offering instruction in survival skills, cross-cultural awareness, and the exchange of ideas; (5) the Business International Studies degree program for students and business people either considering or already working for multinational corporations; (6) a satellite Foothill Campus in Osaka, Japan, offering Japanese students English-as-a-Second-Language courses for FC credit to facilitate transfer to FC as full-time students; (7) the Japanese Cultural Center at FC promoting cross-cultural awareness through the sponsorship of public programs dealing with Japan and Japanese-U.S. relations; and (8) the international work exchange program providing yearly work internships for 230 California students and another 230 English-speaking European students. Brochures on the F-1 Visa International Student Program and FC's international programs are attached.

Abstract:
Judging from the amount of laws, regulations and other formal stipulations concerning human behavior and relations between humans from the time of Hammurabi to our own days, the quest for standards must respond to a deeply felt human need. The reasons for this are complex and exploring them is well beyond the scope of this article. However, it may be worth remembering that the search for standards for higher education is not an isolated occurrence, but part of a much larger social and societal phenomenon.

Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 8(Winter), 231-237.
Abstract:
Is there any content to the many university mission statements claiming to educate the total student and to prepare them for the world they will enter? Of course some universities have not stood aside completely from globalism. But their rush to membership in global society has been mainly to the economic sector: business internships, MBAs, university/ business research affiliations. But what of education for the other realities of globalism?

Peace studies as experiential education.
The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 504, 48-60.
Abstract:
This article argues that peace education and good peace studies at the university level must include peace action as well. Despite general agreement in the peace studies field that such inclusion of peace action is important, few colleges or universities have successfully incorporated an experiential component into their academic programs. Using the Peace and Global Studies Program at Earlham College as a model, this article attempts to show how peace action, in the form of on-campus cocurricular experiences, off-campus internships, and foreign study, gives new meaning to the study that precedes it but also is modified by further course work.

World Education News & Reviews, 8(2)(Spring), 1, 19-20.
Abstract:
Educational opportunities overseas have mushroomed in the past five years. Study abroad programs themselves have expanded, embracing new geographic areas, academic disciplines, and program models. Other varieties of programs have gained widespread acceptance as legitimate components of an undergraduate education. Within the general framework of "experiential learning," three growing categories of overseas opportunities are internships, service learning opportunities and work-abroad programs. This column will focus on internships, with subsequent issues devoted to service learning and work abroad.

International programs at community colleges.
Washington, DC: American Association of Community Colleges.
Abstract:
In 2000, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) conducted a survey regarding community colleges' involvement in international programs and services, following on a 1995 survey gauging the colleges' involvement in these areas. International programs and services were defined as programs and activities designed to increase global awareness in the college community and to support the process by which students prepare for successful integration into a multicultural and interdependent world. The 2000 survey sought information about initiatives in three broad areas: internationalizing curriculum; providing campus and community activities designed to increase global awareness; and facilitating person-to-person international experiences and cooperation.

Consumerism and U.S. study abroad.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 5, 182-200.
Abstract:
This article combines U.S. higher education history, consumer theories, and study abroad practices and policies to explore the effects of consumerism on American study abroad. Consumer theory states that in consumerist ideology, identity formation and the meaning of life are to be found in the buying of prepackaged experiences. Higher education became one of these experiences in the 1970s with increased federal funding and the accompanying growth to a mass market. This mass market helped change the ideology of higher education. Study abroad commercialization in the 1990s has paralleled U.S. higher education commodification; therefore, this history provides insights into the implications of this process for study abroad. The implications include changes in student attitudes, governmental policies, international education practices, and advertising methods. This article describes the potential advantages and disadvantages of these changes to study abroad.

The German musical training of American students, 1850-1900.
(Doctoral dissertation, Universirt of Maryland, College Park). Available from University Microfilms International. (No. 9225789).
Abstract:
During the second half of the nineteenth century, approximately 5,000 Americans studies music in Germany. This dissertation explores the trend in detail, examining individual schools and teachers in Germany and the American students who studied there. Since most American music students in Germany enrolled in conservatories, the dissertation examines in detail the German conservatory system. An additional chapter is devoted to Franz Liszt's masterclasses in Weimar. An appendix lists American students known to have studied in Germany with information on their studies. Most of America's influential musicians about the turn of the twentieth century have been trained in Germany, and this study attempts to characterize their studies.

Values clarification and international education: The Yonsei experience.
Paper presented at the 29th Annual Convention of the International Studies Association, St. Louis, MO.
Abstract:
This study probed the experiences of Korean-American students participating in a study abroad program at Yonsei University in Korea. Data were primarily obtained from essays written by students in a "Topics" class, in which all students were required to participate. This paper discusses how Korean-American students made the choice to study in Korea, and the role their immigrant parents played in the decision. It describes both the expectations of Korean-American students, with regard to how they think they will be perceived, and their actual experiences. Some of the cultural identification issues these students face are presented as examples of their confusion over whether they were "American" or "Korean. " The author provides many anecdotes to illustrate his discussion, and he concludes the article with his opinion on the importance of individual freedom and assessment of the program success and value.

Short-term cultural immersion in Mexico.
Nursing & Health Care, 15(5), 15.
Abstract:
There is much evidence supporting the claim that real-life experiences go a long way in increasing cross-cultural understanding and sensitivity. In order to address this and expand their curricular offerings, a short-term immersion program was developed by the University of Texas at Arlington to send a group of nursing students to Mexico. This article provides a description of the program and an assessment of its success. The program was five weeks in length, with two weeks actually spent in Mexico. Students took a mini course, lived with host families, studied Spanish, and went on field trips. The mini courses were in such topics as traditional medicine and the Mexican health care system. The authors describe some of the difficulties the 10 students faced in adjusting to the Mexican culture and other findings obtained from the course evaluations surveys. In addition to these surveys, nine of the ten students were also surveyed a year after their experience to determine how it had impacted their nursing practice and personal views.

The difficulties of internationalizing the American undergraduate curriculum.

Abstract:
Institutions that "internationalize" their curricula are driven by shifting societal purposes, governmental constraints, institutional structures, theoretical assumptions about curriculum, and comprehensive data about students' learning. These five factors, however, lack the substance needed to prepare students for the challenges of a global society.

Differences between applicants and non-applicants relevant to the decision to study abroad.
(Doctoral dissertation, University of Missouri-Columbia). Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (62(04), 1337A).
Abstract:
In a study conducted at a large, public, mid-western university, applicants to study abroad and interested non-applicants were compared with respect to personal characteristics, study abroad preferences, and perceptions of institutional support for international education. Additionally, they were compared with respect to the influence of perceived outcomes or consequences of study abroad, perceived social pressures from important referents, and perceived obstacles to study abroad as related to the decision to apply or not apply. Factor analyses produced belief-based factors. Factors that made significant independent contributions to separating and defining the two groups were identified by stepwise discriminant function analysis. Academic constraints and the amount of influence of academic relationships become independently significant when the directional social factors are ignored.

The international study abroad experience and its effects on hospitality students.
Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research, 13, 287-297.
Abstract:
Study abroad programs, long a part of the university educational experience, are increasing in importance as American students develop cross cultural knowledge which prepares them for careers in the hospitality and tourism field. This paper will discuss a single study abroad program in hospitality and tourism administration. This program, now in its third year, has proven to be very successful from the perspectives of students, faculty, and administration. An evaluation instrument was designed to measure student characteristics, the educational experience, sociocultural experiences, and individual development. Data reported in this paper are from the 1988 summer program. Results suggest previous foreign travel and some foreign language skills enable program participants to more fully appreciate their study abroad experience. Nearly all students in the program commented favorably on their personal growth, increased interest in learning languages, and an increased receptiveness to different cultures and values. As the hospitality and tourism industry becomes a major participant in our global economy, students with crosscultural experiences will be better prepared for management positions in the industry. Hospitality and tourism programs which are associated with study abroad programs will likely enhance their position with industry, and with their own educational institution.

The transitions shaping both Russia and Russian area studies clearly carry implications for how to teach our students and prepare them to understand the area. Thus, following a detailed discussion of the double transition in Russian area studies, this essay will consider the pedagogical implications for undergraduate education in Russian studies, in area studies in general, and for study abroad programs in Russia in the early 21st century.

Policy issues in foreign language and study abroad.
Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 532, 213-225..
Abstract:
As exchange and study abroad programs proliferate and the range of countries and languages involved broadens, the role of language competence in such programs is in vital need of examination. Long-neglected policy issues, like standards and assessment as well as program design and management, must be addressed. Programs relying on or developing language competence are in need of a new national architecture, which brings to bear expertise from the field of second language acquisition, target languages and cultures, and exchange and study management.

Moving from international vision to institutional reality: Administrative and financial models for education abroad at liberal arts colleges.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 6(3), 283-291.
Abstract:
The recent efforts of liberal arts colleges to examine the administrative and financial structures of their offices and programs has been prompted in part bythe desire of these institutions to internationalize so as to better respond to the pace of globalization and is in part in response to the increasing attention being directed to international education at all levels, including judicial. Byintr oducing the concepts of autonomy, authority, and responsibility with regard to administrative and financial structures, this article seeks to move the discussion of international program administration at liberal arts colleges beyond the centralization-decentralization dichotomy to a consideration of forms and functions that will allow the international office to better translate the institutional international vision into an operational reality.

Abstract:
In August 1991 the Modern Language Association completed work on its fall 1990 survey of foreign language registrations in United States institutions of higher education, the seventeenth in a series of surveys conducted since 1958 with the support of grants from the US Office of Education or its successor, the US Department of Education. Data for the survey were obtained from postcard questionnaires sent to the registrars of 2,796 two- and four-year institutions. All but 51 of these institutions replied, yielding a response rate of 98.2%. Among the respondents, 2,401, or 87.5%, reported registrations in at least one language other than English.

Survival of the interventionist: The personal cost of immersion and social change.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 1(Fall), 81-95.
Abstract:
This article explores the personal distress that interventionists-community psychologists and others whose work requires immersion in a foreign culture-must survive. Considering that an interventionist acts to bring about social change, the article asks whether the issue of burnout has been adequately addressed. This is particularly critical with projects operating abroad because team members must simultaneously learn about and facilitate change within a new culture. Such traumas may not be considered adequately when designing a project and anticipating the shape of the intervention. Furthermore, they historically may not have been considered relevant to reporting findings. Yet the contemporary shifting of paradigms from reliance on quantitative, objective analysis to acceptance of qualitative, subjective inquiry has seen more frequent calls for reports on the human element of community intervention as well as the measurable outcomes (Schumacher, 1973; Trickett, 1984, 1991; Chavis, 1993). To meet the needs of team members, program development should be holistic; that is, personal cultivation and skills acquisition should receive equal attention.

The challenge of race relations: American ecumenism and foreign student nationalism, 1900-1940.
Journal of American Studies, 35(2), 217-237.
Abstract:
American missionary movements in the nineteenth century contributed to the increasing numbers of foreign students in the United States. Many of those foreign students came from non-western societies where American missionaries were active. The missionaries encouraged and helped young natives of other lands to come to the United States for Christian education with the belief that American education was a vital process for training indigenous leaders for Christianity. Missionaries of different denominations tended to recommend students to the educational institutions they were affiliated with. For instance, Methodist missionaries directed the students to educational institutions of the Methodist Church; the Presbyterians, the Episcopalians, and the Catholics, and other denominations did likewise." They hoped that the students, upon completion of their studies, would go back to their homelands to assume leadership in spreading Christianity.

Crisis management in a cross-cultural setting.
Washington, DC: NAFSA Association of International Educators.
Abstract:
When a crisis hits, we often ask a series of questions: "What?" "Who?" "Where?" "When?" "How?" and then, "What now?" International educators know that responses to these questions may differ from culture to culture. Indeed, the very definition of what is and isn't a 'crisis' may depend upon its cultural context. A compendium of experience and expertise from many professionals in the field of international educational exchange, Crisis Management in a Cross-Cultural Setting is an essential sourcebook, designed to prepare international educators and others to respond appropriately, expeditiously, and comprehensively to crises that befall students and scholars living and learning a long way from where they call 'home.' Its thesis is simple: advance planning and cross-cultural sensitivity can make all the difference.

Why TRIO students need to study abroad.
Washington, DC: Pell Institute.
Abstract:
The emergence of "the global village," the increasing interdependence of economies and the advent of new telecommunications technologies have brought changes to all American institutions, including institutions of higher learning. As pressures have increased upon corporations to "internationalize" their operations, so have colleges and universities been urged to expand their curricula and train students and faculty to operate in an international arena.

The contribution of international educational exchange to the international education of Americans: Projections for the year 2000.
New York: Council on International Educational Exchange.
Abstract:
This paper attempts to forecast the scope and profile of educational exchanges between the United States and other countries in the year 2000 as one approach to assessing the contribution of those exchanges to the international education of U.S. citizens. The forecasts are based in part on predictions relating to political stability, economic growth, and likely developments in higher education in major world regions. The first part reviews major world regions including the following highlights: the probable growth in exchanges with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe; the centrality of solving the debt crisis to the future of Latin America nations and exchanges with those countries; and the likely growth in exchanges involving Asia, propelled by its burgeoning economic situation, especially in Japan. The second part of the paper focuses on the contribution of international educational exchanges to U.S. citizens learning about other countries, culture, and international issues. This is done in terms of foreign students in the United States, U.S. students going abroad, faculty exchanges, and how international learning might be enhanced by each activity. The paper concludes that special efforts are required if international educational exchanges are to make a more significant contribution to U.S. international education; the mere existence of exchange does not assure this contribution. This situation should be more widely understood if such efforts are to receive the support they require. Some specific recommendations propose strategies and programs to strengthen the contribution of exchanges to international learning in the United States.

Study abroad: A European and an American perspective.
Paris: European Institute of Education and Social Policy.
Abstract:
Study abroad by American undergraduates is increasing in scope and importance although reliable statistical data is not available to document this in detail. Recent trends point to increases in the numbers of students in professional fields and the sciences that study abroad as well as an increase in the number studying in the developing and/or nonwestern countries; however, these numbers are still very limited. The rationale for U.S. study abroad relates to the need for more knowledge of other countries and cultures and their languages by more Americans as part of citizen and professional education and the contribution of study abroad to students' personal growth. Among ten deterrents to U.S. undergraduate study abroad are lack of foreign language proficiency, finance, demographic factors, anti-foreign and parochial attitudes, inadequate structures in colleges and universities to foster and facilitate study abroad, unwarranted priority in some quarters to graduate study abroad, and the lack of research and evaluation documenting impacts. Notwithstanding the deterrents, undergraduate study abroad should be a growing priority, and prospects for strengthening it are increasingly favorable. Nine recommendations to advance the field are set forth, most of which are aimed at reducing or eliminating the deterrents described earlier.

Program review of study abroad.
Tallahassee: State University System of Florida.
Abstract:
Three consultants participated in the 1992 review of study abroad programs at the nine campuses in the Florida State University system. The review found that the State University System study abroad programs are impressive in their scope, in the institutional commitment they enjoy, and in the dedication of many faculty and staff at the different universities. This is noteworthy because, at a number of the universities, a heavy teaching load inhibits faculty members from taking on extra duties that study abroad programs would entail.

Abstract:
John Marshall is best remembered as the first resident director of the Rockefeller Foundation's Study and Conference Center at Bellagio. Yet, his influence on knowledge, thought, and practice rivalled that of any of his contemporaries at the Rockefeller. This paper describes how he 'went about his business' as a Foundation officer, and examines his contribution to the creation of a transatlantic community of like-minded theorists and practitioners of communications.

The effects of study abroad during college on attitudes toward other cultures.
International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 12, 1-17.
Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to assess changes in attitudes and perceptions toward international understanding by university students who had spent a year of study abroad at a European university. Using a quasi-experimental design, a questionnaire was sent to 450 students who spent their junior year abroad and 800 students who remained on their home campus during their junior year. The response rates were 67% and 65% respectively. The questionnaire asked for retrospective views before the junior year as well as for views presently held. In addition, subjects were queried concerning shifts in attitudes during the junior year. Factor analytic and analysis of variance procedures were used to analyze the data. Consistent with the main hypotheses guiding the study, the results indicated increased levels of international political concern, crosscultural interest, and cultural cosmopolitanism for the study abroad group. This group also reported more positive, yet also more critical views of the United States than did the comparison group. The results were discussed in terms of the general goaIs of international educational exchange programs.

Study and training abroad in the United Nations system.
The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 67-77.
Abstract:
The United Nations and its Specialized and Associated Agencies have, since their foundation, provided fellowships, study tours, training courses, and workshops to enable specialists from their member states to obtain further training and to exchange experience on problems of mutual interest. Such programs have played a major role in the work of the United Nations system in the developing countries. The present article describes the main features of these programs over the past three decades, some of the problems they have faced, and how they have developed in response to changing perspectives and needs of the member states of the organizations. Some notable developments in these programs during the past five years are discussed, for example, the increased contribution of international, regional, and national training institutes in the organization of training programs and their researches on program content and methodology; new departures in the field of evaluation; the co-ordination of international training programs situated in the developing countries and the potential role of technical co-operation among the developing countries.

The meaning of international experiences for the professional development of educators.
(Doctoral dissertation, New York University).
Abstract:
Each year universities and numerous professional associations offer increased opportunities to teachers for international study, travel and employment. Study abroad programs are argued to be beneficial for personal and professional growth of participants. For educators specifically, a greater global awareness, often attributed to teachers' international experience, has led to better global education for students. However, individual and international experiences vary widely and meanings are socially constructed. The purpose of this study was to define and interpret the meaning of international travel and study for teachers by describing the process of developing meaning through interpretations of symbols and interactions.

Assessment of study-abroad programs using surveys of student participants.
Paper presented at the Annual Forum of the Association for Institutional Research, Chicago, IL..
Abstract:
Study-abroad programs are among the many academic programs being evaluated in the assessment of colleges and universities. One evaluation tool is the survey of students who participate in these programs. This paper discusses the use of such surveys by St. Mary's College (Indiana) during the past decade to gather information regarding program strengths and weaknesses and assess the impact of the study abroad program on participants. Statistical data are presented showing what St. Mary's College has learned about its study-abroad program and student needs over the years. These data were collected not only from student surveys of those completing their study-abroad programs, but also routinely from incoming freshmen as well as from outcome measures administered during and after the college experience. While the surveys provide compelling evidence of the immediate effects of these programs, long-term effects were found to be more difficult to determine. Part of the value in assessing these programs has been enhancing the school's ability to make program changes and modifying the program experience and student preparation to achieve greater positive impacts.

Writing to host nationals as cross-cultural collaborative learning in study abroad.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 8(Winter), 144-164.
Abstract:
Unlike education in the home country, where academic life generally separates itself from other aspects of students' lives, study abroad opens up the classroom to the whole society. Students' learning about cultural differences occurs, to a large extent, in their leisure time and in serendipity: with host families, in dorms shared with host-country students, in restaurants, parks, on the streets, and so on. All these out-of-classroom aspects are where ambiguity starts. Many students find study abroad appealing exactly because these aspects resemble vacationing (Altschuler). Thus, in the context of study abroad, traditional classroom education, independent of students' experiences, falls short of guiding students to reach their learning potential. Experiential education, by contrast, rests on drawing students' daily experiences into a "process" of "collective" learning (Carver 8-9). Such pedagogy answers the unique challenges of teaching study abroad courses.

Minorities and underrepresented groups in international affairs and the foreign policy establishment.
Paper presented at the Global Challenges & U.S. Higher Education Conference, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Abstract:
This paper articulates a research agenda to address the issue of minority underrepresentation in international affairs. It presents a synopsis of the problems posed by minority underrepresenation in international education at U.S. colleges and universities, and it points up as well as the ramifications for the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. It then examines, through a review of select and prominent literature, the types of research necessary to inform efforts to improve minority enrollment in international education programs, most importantly the development of data banks on emerging trends. If and when available, such information can be used to assess the nature of the relationship between minority enrollment in certain programs in higher education and minority underrepresentation in international affairs, to see if a correlation can be established as is presumed. However, given the inconsistency and scanty availability of data, formulating authoritative conclusions about the status of minorities in international affairs is at best difficult. Even though existing literature seems to suggest an apparent growing movement toward internationalization on many of the nation's campuses, including a small set of minority institutions, current research has yet to focus on the role of higher education in integrating minorities into the foreign policy environment.

Determinants of student participation in study abroad programs at the University of Delaware: A quantitative study (Doctoral dissertation, University of Delaware).
Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 61(08), 3078A).
Abstract:
The University of Delaware initiated a long tradition of study abroad programs sponsored by American colleges and universities when it founded the Junior Year Abroad in 1923. Since that time the number of American undergraduates participating in overseas study opportunities has grown to over 115,00 per year, and the University of Delaware consistently ranks among the top schools nationally in the number of students it sends abroad. Over the years educators have promoted foreign study in the belief that a sojourn abroad yields certain personal and academic benefits, and in fact this appears to be the case. Research indicates that under specific circumstances students who study abroad demonstrate increased second language proficiency, intercultural understanding, and knowledge of the host country, and a more mature, realistic self-appraisal than their peers who remain on the home campus. Given the benefits of study abroad, and the current emphasis on global communications and trade, it is surprising that the majority of students, both nationally and at the University of Delaware, do not take advantage of this educational opportunity. The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate why some students study abroad and others do not, and to analyze the factors which influence their participation decisions. The primary data collection instrument is a survey which was distributed to over 1,000 students in thirty classes at the University of Delaware during the fall of 1999. Statistical data analysis yielded intriguing results. In general, students reported not being very well informed

Newark, DE: University of Delaware Center for International Studies.
Abstract:
This project investigated the short-term study abroad experiences of first-year (freshman) students compared to those of older (sophomore and junior) students, both those studying abroad for the first time and those who also went abroad as freshmen. Over 100 respondents provided quantitative and qualitative data which illuminated reasons for studying abroad, perceived personal growth during time overseas, likelihood of additional sojourns, and more.

Integrating study abroad into the foreign language curriculum.
ADFL Bulletin, 32(3), 79-85.
Abstract:
In order to avoid preaching to the choir, we have purposely said little in this article about the many benefits students derive from study abroad. Instead we have provided examples of integration between our programs abroad and those on campus and have given some suggestions for ensuring their success. It goes without saying that we designed all our programs with the pedagogical goal of providing unique learning opportunities for our undergraduates. Well-designed overseas programs, when combined with on-campus programs that incorporate coursework done abroad, can provide powerful incentives for students—even those with marginal interest in learning a foreign language—to continue their language study and move up the ladder from the lower to the most advanced level. We mentioned the numerous advantages that successful programs abroad can bring to foreign language departments: stronger relations with other units and a higher profile on campus, increased enrollments in advanced courses, faculty development, and the like. Yet apart from their benefits to individual students and departments, study-abroad programs are very highly valued at the university level as well. They help attract the best applicants to our institution, and they play a major role in the ongoing effort to internationalize the undergraduate student body. In short, treating study-abroad programs as an integral (and integrated) part of the on-campus curriculum yields benefits for students, departments, and the institution as a whole.

Abstract:
This article explores the hypothesis that having a mind which is open to other ways of looking at the world may facilitate one's ability to learn a new language. Ethno-lingual relativity is a perspective. Having such a perspective might facilitate second language acquisition, in view of support for this hypothesis-drawn from second language research in language aptitude, motivation, personality differences, social and psychological factors, acculturation theory, and pragmatic competence.

A descriptive study of demographic characteristics and perceptions of cross-cultural effectiveness of diverse students at Ohio University in relation to study abroad.
(Doctor Dissertation, Ohio University). Available from ProQuest Dissertations and Thesis dtabase. (UMI No.3062149).
Abstract:
Our changing interconnected world demands that students have knowledge and understanding of world events, other cultures, and languages. In higher education in terms of international education, and specifically at Ohio University, ethnically diverse students have not considered study abroad in larger numbers. The goals of this study are: (1) to provide some base data on students of color in relation to study abroad, (2) to define perceived barriers to study abroad, and (3) to determine if there is a relationship between selected demographic variables of a diverse student population at Ohio University, and attitudes of cross-cultural effectiveness. During Fall Quarter, 2000, 114 African American, Latino and Multiracial students were surveyed to gather demographic information, and using the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI), to measure four dimensions of cross-cultural effectiveness (emotional resilience, flexibility and openness, perceptual acuity, and personal autonomy). The data was analyzed using descriptive data, and ANOVA set at .05 alpha level. Results from the demographic survey indicated that there was high parental educational attainment, medium to high parental income, prior travel experiences by students, and Europe was still regarded as an important travel destination in addition to Africa and South America. Barriers identified were similar to those previously found in the literature. These included financial constraints, fears associated with racism, and leaving the country, and lack of language competency. Results of the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory indicated that over half the students were highly emotionally resilient, half were flexible and open, and half had high perceptual acuity and personal autonomy. One significant finding was that males were found to be more emotionally resilient than females. It is recommended in further research, to include Asian American and Native American populations, and conduct impact studies on students of color who study abroad.

Patterns of daily life.
IREX Occasional Papers, 1(4).
Abstract:
Two papers are presented which were originally prepared for delivery at a conference to evaluate the results of 20 years of scholarly exchange between the United States, the USSR, and Eastern Europe. Participants included over 300 members of the public affairs community, including government officials, public policy makers, business leaders, journalists, and educators. Both papers deal with the daily life of Eastern European Citizens. In the first paper, "In a Pig's Eye: Daily Life and Political Economy in Southeastern Europe," by John W. Cole, emphasis is placed on the necessity of viewing Southeastern European culture in terms of its own past experience and in comparison with other agrarian areas rather than in comparison with Western Europe or the United States. In the second paper, "Studying the Soviet Social System: The 'Soviet Citizen' Revisited," author Gail Warshofsky Lapidus focuses on the importance of and changes which have occurred since publication of the original "Soviet Citizen" (by Alex Inkeles and Raymond Bauer, Harvard University Press) in 1959.

Language learning and study abroad: The European perspective.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 4(Fall), 207-229.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present paper is to describe, for a North American audience, how "study abroad" or "residence abroad" is understood in the European context. Here, it is not merely an educational matter: the historical, geographical and political context of Europe has an important influence on the rationale for student residence abroad and on its organisation. As well as highlighting differences from the American context, the paper will describe features of current practice, focusing particularly on the United Kingdom, for several reasons. Residence abroad has been a compulsory part of most degrees in modern languages in the UK for many years, the UK has larger numbers of students involved in the process, and the evaluation of residence abroad has arguably been more systematic than elsewhere in Europe, where residence abroad is normally optional, is not closely integrated into the degree structure, and (at least until recently) has carried little or no weight within the credit structure of the degree. Finally, I shall review the published research into residence abroad, especially with regard to foreign language proficiency and to intercultural competence. The paper is divided into four sections dealing respectively with the European context, residence abroad in Europe, UK specific information, and research findings.

Fulfilling our promises: The United States and the Helsinki Final Act. A status report.
Washington, DC: Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Abstract:
This report examines compliance by the United States with agreements made in the Helsinki Final Act. The Act was signed in 1975 by leaders of 33 East and West European nations, Canada, and the U.S. It contains numerous cooperative measures aimed at improving East-West relations. This report was prepared by the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), an independent advisory agency that monitors the implementation records of the U.S. and other countries which signed the Final Act. One of the report's purposes is the conscientious examination of the U.S. implementation record, including shortcomings pointed out by some CSCE participants and domestic critics. Four major chapters review U.S. actions in four conceptual areas. The chapter titled "Security in Europe" explores principles such as soverign equality, inviolability of frontiers, and non-intervention in internal affairs. It also examines aspects of military security. The chapter titled "Human Rights" covers political and civil rights, social and economic rights, women's rights, and religious liberty. The chapter on economic and scientific cooperation explores implementation in areas of commercial exchange, industrial cooperation, environment, and science and technology. The chapter on cooperation in humanitarian and other fields examines reduced restrictions on individual travel, radio broadcasts, and cultural and educational exchanges. A conclusion and appendices are included.

Undergraduate sojourner change as a result of a study abroad experience.
(Master's thesis, University of Nebraska).
Abstract:
A qualitative approach was used to explore the personal changes that undergraduate sojourners encountered as a result of their study abroad experience. This research project also investigated the factors or experiences in the host country that influenced change during the sojourner's cross cultural learning experience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 10 undergraduate students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who participated on at least a semester long study abroad program during the 1998-1999 academic year. Participant interviews were coded and analyzed using a content analysis approach. The data suggested that undergraduate sojourners experienced intellectual, psychological, social and/or physical changes as a result of their study abroad experience. The data also revealed that very few factors or experiences influenced sojourner change. Identified change was more of a gradual process rather than precipitated by any specific factors or experiences. A theoretical model is proposed that explains, in part, what changes undergraduate sojourners experience as a result of a study abroad experience. The results of this project may be useful to Study Abroad staff and administrators in promoting and coordinating study abroad programs as well as in facilitating pre-departure and re-entry orientations and programs. This project may also stimulate ideas for future research on the effect study abroad experiences have on undergraduate sojourners.

The use of a global business practicum in promoting international competence.
Paper presented at the Business Education and Emerging Market Economies conference, Atlanta, GA.
Abstract:
Higher levels of education for international business require that students experience what it is like to work in another country. One way to meet this need is through a business practicum, in which students work on a project assigned by a sponsoring company. A business practicum abroad provides an opportunity for students to apply business principles while they learn about the decision-making process and work environment in another country. This paper reports the results of a collaborative practicum between universities in the United States and Croatia. The practicum achieves several goals on the part of students, faculty, the universities and the government of Croatia.

Development and implementation of a semester program in Mexico for senior nursing students.
Journal of Professional Nursing, 16(5), 293-299.
Abstract:
The College of Nursing (CON), Michigan State University (MSU), in collaboration with the School of Nursing and Obstetrics, University of Guanajuato, Celaya, Mexico, developed a semester-long study-abroad program for senior MSU nursing students offered for the first time in the fall of 1998. The program provides intensive Spanish language classes and allows students to take required nursing courses in Mexico with a substantial amount of course content provided by Mexican faculty without an MSU CON faculty member on site at all times. Students receive a broad perspective of nursing and health care in Mexico, and develop an appreciation for its language and culture as well. This program represents an innovative approach to the development and implementation of a study-abroad program in nursing.

Overseas student teaching: Affecting personal, professional, and global competencies in an age of globalization.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 6(1), 44-58.
Abstract:
Conditions in the world today demand that teachers have increased international knowledge and experience that they can transmit to the students in their charge. Developing the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve such objectives requires significant immersion experiences in cultures other than one's own.Schools of edu cation, however, give scant attention to this reality.This study examined the nature of the international student teaching experience and its impact on the professional and personal development of new teachers.Fifty returned student teachers reported how such an experience affected them personally as well as professionally.Findings reflect the study-abroad literature in general, suggesting that an overseas experience has immense benefits for the student teacher.Students reported impact on their beliefs about self and others as evidenced through increased cultural awareness and improved self-efficacy, as well as professional development in terms of global- mindedness.

Australian and New Zealand university students? articipation in international exchange programs.
Abstract:
With increasing competition within the marketplace, graduates require skills such as intercultural competencies to make them more employable. Study abroad and student exchange programs are effective means by which students may gain such international knowledge and skills. Moreover, studies in the US and Europe have shown that students acknowledge that participation in student exchange programs are beneficial, but very few students take this opportunity. Unfortunately, data relating to Australian and New Zealand students? plans for participating in exchange experiences is not readily available. This study aims to develop the body of knowledge surrounding Australian and New Zealand student exchange programs. Staff at the International Offices of 27 Australian and four New Zealand universities completed surveys, which examined the demographics of students participating in programs from 2000-2001. Overall, the findings indicate that despite greater government focus on internationalisation and student exchange opportunities, less than one percent of Australian and New Zealand students participate in student exchange programs.

When just being there is not enough.
Paper presented at the Conference on Language Gain in the Study Abroad Environment, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Abstract:
The student records database of the American Council of Teachers of Russian (ACTR) on study abroad learning now contains more than 3000 learning histories for study abroad participants of varying backgrounds and immersion durations. The present report updates previous studies (including "Predictors of Gain," Brecht, Davidson, Ginsberg) on the effects of varying durations of immersion on typical post-program language outcomes (language gains expressed in proficiency terms) for speaking, reading, and listening typical for summer, semester, or academic year-long program durations. The study considers a fairly broad range of learner variables including initial language levels, years of prior study, learning styles, and learning backgrounds represented within the student population. Such outcomes-based data are seen as significant for study abroad program evaluation and policy formation more generally, given the size of the learner population and the broad range of institutions represented in the ACTR data. Having established baseline data for different program durations and learning histories, the paper then turns briefly to report on the results of four specific intervention strategies on predicted program outcomes; 1) meta-cognitive preparation of learners in self-managed learning; 2) targeted training of teachers in Russia in student-centered learning and proficiency-based program development; 3) a revised mechanism for selection and monitoring of homestay placements. Data collected over the past four years show that the specific interventions produced statistically significant (.002) "yields"/ improvements in oral proficiency gains/ in comparison to learners of equivalent background and initial levels of language competence in control groups. Possible and on-going adjustments in study abroad immersion-learning models are noted for learner groups with different threshold levels of language competence.

Study abroad: An investigation of the impact of African diasporic travel on the psychosocial development of African American college sojourners.
Doctoral dissertation, North Carolina State Univeristy.
Abstract:
This study examined the main effects of an African diasporic travel intervention on the psychosocial development of African American college sojourners. The treatment group consisted of 12 African American college students who participated in the deliberate psychological education intervention during a six week study abroad program in Ghana. As part of the deliberate psychological education, treatment group members participated in weekly discussion groups and maintained journals detailing their African diasporic travel experience. Control group members consisted of 12 African American college students who were either enrolled in an African American studies course or who were members of a Black student campus organization.

Studies in international education: A research perspective.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 1(1), 1-8.
Abstract:
This article seeks to place "studies in international education" within the broader context of educational science, and to contribute to the improvement of the theoretical basis of analysis and research methods of international education. Recognition of "international education" as a special research area is, given its growing importance in practice and in research, inevitable and necessary. The Journal of Studies in International Education can play a role in establishing it as a means off communication and dissemination between researchers and practitioners. The start of the Journal is a marketing point, not only because of its scholarly and global perspective, but also because of its ability to position the study of international education in a specific place and platform within the broad field of educational research.

Student outcomes of international collaborations.
Paper presented at the International Conference for Engineering Education, Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Abstract:
Establishing international collaborations between engineering education programs often entails a number of different activities, none of which are easy to establish or maintain. It is easy to lose sight of the goals. This paper suggests using student outcomes as a way of assessing and focusing these collaborations. The topic will be addressed using the experiences and data from a 5-year collaboration between the Université d'Artois in France and Penn State University in the USA. Anecdotal data will be used from students who have engaged in collaborative design projects, in discussions of ethics, and who have had cross-national co-operative experiences. Key issues studied will be the positive role of cross-cultural differences, the preparatory role of such student experiences for working in the global economy, and the ability of information technology to internationalize the in-house engineering curriculum.

Study abroad in Japan: The ideal environment for learning to read?.
Paper presented at the Conference on Language Gain in the Study Abroad Environment, University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Abstract:
In this presentation, I will describe in detail a study of the development of reading processes and comprehension during study abroad (SA) in Japan. I will begin by providing brief overviews of research on language learning during SA in Japan and on the development of reading during SA in general. I will then describe a study involving a comparison between American students learning Japanese in an intensive language program in Japan and students in a summer intensive domestic immersion (IM) program in the U.S. Measures of reading included in this study were think aloud and free recall protocols, self assessments and vocabulary knowledge tests. Findings include: 1) a lack of significant differences between SA and IM groups in terms of changes over time on major measures of reading comprehension; 2) the presence of significant differences in terms of changes in reading processes (IM group monitored understanding less and showed affective reaction more over time than the SA group); 3) differences in the growth of background knowledge (knowledge that can often facilitate reading comprehension). Interaction with others (in particular teachers) in Japanese played a major role in predicting changes in reading processes over time. In addition, variation in terms of changes on reading measures was significantly greater for the SA group than for the IM group. I will discuss these and other results and will conclude with suggestions for further research, in particular on the topic of literacy development during SA.

Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.
Abstract:
Via personalized exercises, this self-directed workbook guides students through five distinct strands of development, all of which are necessary to fully capitalize on their study abroad experience. Strands include: personal development, learning about one's own culture, learning about another culture, professional development, and learning a language, and each is addressed at the three crucial phases of the experience: before, during and after the sojourn. One major goal of the text is to offer a purposeful agenda to help students move from being the conventional tourist to an explorer who truly acquires an authentic view of another culture.

Second language acquisition in study abroad contexts.
Papers presented at the Pacific Second Language Research Forum, University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
Abstract:
It is commonly believed that language study abroad is the most effective and efficient road to proficiency in a foreign language. Yet while the empirical research on learners in study abroad programs has determined that study abroad has a strong positive effect on the development of fluency, communication strategies and sociolinguistic competence, many questions pertaining to SLA in a study abroad context remain unanswered. For example, with a few exceptions, the findings of studies to date tell us little about actual language use or the nature of the social interaction between learners and competent native speakers of the host culture and their effects on the process of language acquisition. Furthermore attempts to measure changes in interlanguage development often yield divergent findings (Freed, 1995). In order to advance our knowledge in these areas, this colloquium will begin by taking a critical look at various measures of language assessment that have been used to measure learner gains in study abroad contexts and then present empirical evidence (Paper #1) in support of the use of multiple methods in order to obtain accurate profiles of language learners. Then three more studies will be presented which have incorporated multiple methods to examine the nature of the social interaction between the learners and native speakers of the host culture and the effect of this social interaction on the acquisition of both linguistic and social information. Paper #2 primarily utilizes diary data to examine socialization into American culture via participation in routines. Paper #3 focuses on conversational data to compare the negotiation of meaning in both classroom and homestay situations in Japan and Paper #4 examines the socialization of taste by study abroad learners in Indonesia using microanalysis of discourse and learner journals. Moreover, the pedagogical implications of all the studies will be discussed.

Abstract:
Learning activities are described for study abroad tours with appropriateness discussed in terms of study tour characteristics of location, integration with academic credit, and time spent on the tour. Journal writing is the most versatile activity. Company visits are the most impressive to students. Simulations engage students but require computer technology. Projects require sufficient research resources. Lecture/testing and treasure hunts require more time on tour.

A historical view of Americans abroad.
Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 368, 11-20.
Abstract:
Americans have traveled abroad in increasing numbers ever since the formation of the Republic. Their numbers at first were very limited and largely confined to the well-to-do. Newly developed means of transportation, from the trans-Atlantic steamship to the modern jet airplane, have combined with increasing prosperity and enhanced leisure to swell the annual visitation of the Old World by Americans from a few thousands in the early nineteenth century to more than a million in the 1960's. The expansion in this tourist travel has been particularly notable in the postwar years, and there has also been a tremendous increase in the number of Americans living at least temporarily abroad-American military forces and their dependents, government officials, teachers, and students. Ever since its beginnings, business, education, travel for its own sake, and vacations have been the principal motives for the European journeying. "Americans have a special call to travel," a contributor to the North American Review wrote in 1856. "It is the peculiar privilege of their birth in the New World, that the Old World is left them to visit." This is still true today and would appear largely to account for the flood of tourists annually crossing the Atlantic. For a segment of society now including all salaried workers and even numbers of skilled wage earners, as well as businessmen, the professional classes, and others among the well-to-do, travel abroad has become a part of the American way of life.

The development and delivery of a three-week study abroad programme in construction science.
World Transactions on Engineering and Technology Education, 2(1), 125-128.
Abstract:
This paper details the development and delivery of a study abroad programme for students in the Construction Science Department at the University of Cincinnati (UC). The programme was developed over an eighteen month period beginning in the spring of 2001 and took place during a three week period in September of 2002. This programme was a cooperative effort involving faculty members at the University of Cincinnati, the University of Technology-Sydney (UTS), the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) along with the staff at the Institute for Global Studies and Affairs (IGSA) at UC. Twelve students and two faculty members from the Construction Science Department at UC spent the first three weeks of September studying Australian architecture, construction techniques and culture. Those participants who submitted a twenty page research paper on the Australian construction industry received three technical elective credits. Student evaluations of the programme were overwhelmingly positive. Further work is now underway to institutionalise this programme and make it an annual offering from the Construction Science Department.

Global projects prepare WPI students for the 21st Century.
Educating the Engineer for the 21st Century: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Global Engineering Education, Aachen, Germany, October 1.
Abstract:
The WPI project based curriculum, which emphasizes discovery based learning are an alternative to the traditional information transfer process, has proved successful in delivering global engineering education. More than 25% of the learning process of the students is integrated into two formal projects, the Major Qualifying Project (MQP) which is designed as a capstone for professional technical competence and the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) which relates science and technology to societal concerns and student needs. Both the MQP and IQP may be completed on- or off-campus. Currently, over 50% of the graduating class will have completed one of the projects at an overseas location under WPl's Global Perspectives Program. Each year, more than twenty faculty members will be advising and sharing a learning experience with the students at international locations spanning six continents. Living and working in an unfamiliar culture while pursuing real world problems of importance to local agencies or organizations provides a unique and stimulating learning environment. Students are fully immersed in the local culture and conduct their studies under the guidance of WPI faculty members. Traditionally, global projects have emphasized the inter-relationship of technology and society through the IQP. More recently, technical projects and research have been added through the MQP and graduate research efforts. The result of the student projects which arc generally carried out by small teams, 3-5 students per team is typical, includes oral presentations and a tinal written report which is presented to a sponsoring agency as well as filed for future use at the WPI library. This paper describes the WPI global program and is based on the experiences of the authors in advising project activities. It emphasizes the preparation of the WPI students for global projects, the infrastructure needed to support such activities, and the outcomes in terms of global aspects of some graduates' careers.

Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 424, 6-15.
Abstract:
International education has been a growing field in the United States since the beginning of major exchange activity with the establishment of the Fulbright-Hays Fellowships shortly after World War II. This article briefly examines many of the factors that have promoted the growth of large-scale exchange and discusses reasons why they can be expected to play a significant role in determining the future of exchange.

The "other Eden": Thoughts on American study abroad in Britain.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 6(Winter), 83-98.
Abstract:
Here I will attempt to untangle some of the issues that characterize what might be termed "British studies" on American campuses. These issues are of interest to American international educators because Britain plays a prominent role in exchange activities of all kinds. Common campus assumptions in respect to Britain have significant effects on the way in which we think about study abroad in Britain for our students, about the nature of British academic institutions, and about the quality of transatlantic academic interactions. Some of these assumptions, I will argue, need re-evaluation. Exploring this usually taken-for-granted corner of our intercultural lives may help us see with new eyes the ways in which our institutions shape and influence our students' understanding and experience of this still (somewhat shakily) sceptered isle.

Comparison and interchange: The relevance of cultural relations to comparative education.
Comparative Education, 2(2), 63-70.
Abstract:
The viewpoint expressed in this article is that another important facet has to be taken into account-that which concerns the actual processes of interchange across boundaries. Nowadays it is not sufficient to take into account only historical background as a determinant of differences and similarities between systems. One must also consider contemporary events through which nations bring influence to bear on each other, and among them the large number of official and unofficial programs of educational exchange for the purposes of technical assistance, cultural relations and scientific co-operation. These programs may consist of fellowships, scholarships, visiting professorships, teacher exchange, conferences, meetings, seminars, advisory missions, visits by delegations.

Promising practices: Spotlighting excellence in comprehensive internationalization.
Washington, DC: American Council on Education.
Abstract:
Promising Practices: Spotlighting Excellence in Comprehensive Internationalization showcases the efforts of eight U.S. colleges and universities that are leading the movement to educate a globally competent citizenry. Each case study, written by one or more representatives of the institution profiled, details the college's goals, programs, and activities related to internationalization, as well as challenges and future plans. Taken together, the case studies suggest a comprehensive road map to internationalization for any institution committed to internationalizing undergraduate education. [ACE]

The peace corps and the university: Promises and problems for higher education.
The Journal of Higher Education, 35(4), 189-201.
Abstract:
The Peace Corps is the most imaginative and possibly the most successful New Frontier idea-become-reality. Despite the skeptics' predictions and a continuing bombardment of biting cartoons, volunteers have gone overseas, performed their tasks effectively, and managed to escape identification with the more controversial issues of the Cold War. True, Moscow has called the volunteers "agents of imperialism"; the Nigerian postal-card incident shocked many Americans into an awareness of the high stakes invo1ved;l and a few volunteers proved inefficient or delinquent and returned home involuntarily. But these instances have been rare. The Peace Corps has become a viable American institution. The forty-six nations receiving assistance have asked for second, third, and fourth contingents, and the prospects for continued demand seem promising. Congressional support has been bipartisan. In general, press coverage has been both extensive and kindly.

Homestay/village stay study in the Americas, 1994-1996 (report).
Educational Resources Information Center.
Abstract:
The report presents strategies and guidelines to manage and administer homestays and village stays for U.S. students, based on a survey of academic directors and homestay coordinators, with a focus on such activities in Latin America and the Caribbean. It reviews the literature on the role and cost of homestay and village stay programs in semester and year-abroad programs. Based on survey responses, it then goes onto examine such issues as the variables that influence successful homestays and village stays, the role of academic directors and homestay coordinators, family selection and payment, family composition, orientation/follow-up, and problems and resolution mechanisms. Specific guidelines to address problems and concerns in these areas are provided. Three appendixes contain a sample student questionnaire; homestay materials provided by programs in Jamaica, Brazil, and Boliva; and an annotated bibliography.

These kids are so bright! Pre-service teachers' insights and discoveries during a three-week student teaching practicum in Mexico.
Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Chicago, IL.
Abstract:
This study of three female preservice teachers who took part in a practicum teaching experience in Mexico focused on what the students learned, how they met the challenges of the experience, and how the experience affected their personal and professional lives later. This qualitative study used interviews with each student and observation field notes to investigate the relationships of the preservice teachers with their elementary school students and the Mexican cooperating teachers. Key changes in students views were identified. The students learned what it means to function in a new culture without language fluency and without familiarity with the standards for behavior. Students also gained significant insight into their own prejudices related to Mexico and Mexican people, and they gained empathy for those who have to function in a new culture. Students left the program thinking that they would use the new insights as they developed ideas for teaching and for advocating for Hispanic children in their classes. Students comments revealed some profound growth in self-awareness about their own vulnerabilities. Most important to their future as teachers was their discovery that Mexican children were bright, capable, and working at grade level in spite of very limited school, family, and financial circumstances.

Study-abroad programs as a professional development tool for international business faculty: An administrative perspective.
Journal for Higher Education Strategists, 1(2), 147-165.
Abstract:
This article describes, from an administrative perspective, how faculty participation in a study abroad program can enhance a faculty member's professional development and teaching effectiveness. The academic program and development experience described and used as the basis for this commentary occurred within the context of a graduate economics course conducted in Japan. Faculty members who have participated in this program assumed the role(s) of student and/or program assistant, as opposed to that of program leader and instructor. In this juxtapositional role, numerous experiential benefits have been acquired that enhanced the professional credentials and growth of all international business faculty involved.

Abstract:
In this article, the authors describe how faculty participation in a short-term study-abroad program contributed to faculty members' international professional development and teaching effectiveness. The academic program and development experience described occurred within the context of a graduate economics course that was developed in Japan and conducted on several occasions. The faculty who participated in this program assumed the role of student, not program leader, instructor, or coordinator. In this juxtapositional role, numerous experiential benefits, skills, and knowledge were acquired that otherwise would not have been possible. The intent of this article was to identify specific areas in which international professional development takes place and demonstrate how this international experience ultimately contributes to academic improvement.

Journal of Studies in International Education, 5(Spring), 79-90.
Abstract:
This article describes the experience of an American professor who taught a graduate information systems course at a French university. In addition to describing the overall experience, several problematic issues identified over the course of the semester are identified and discussed. Special emphasis is placed on three areas of differences: communications, technology, and culture. Awareness of these differences, their impact on course conduct, and possible solutions may be useful to other educators interested in conducting a similar course internationally.

Comment on issues and the state of U.S. research on international exchanges.
Paper presented at the U.S.-German Conference on Research on Exchanges, Bonn, West Germany, November.
Abstract:
A brief report on research developments since 1974-75, indicating that, basically, the initial characterization offered at the beginning of this paper does not, as of 1980, require major recasting. As before, the period has produced a considerable number of publications<197>chapters, articles, reports, theses and dissertations, monographs, books. As before, many of them are either responses to perceived operational or membership servicing needs of existing agencies, the often delayed publication of results of studies begun years before, the result of idiosyncratic choices by senior or junior academics to explore some research topic of mostly ad hoc or passing concern to the researcher, or compendia gathering within one cover, or within a special journal issue, papers presented at professional conference. Many of these are thoughtful and competent. To what extent they exert an intellectual and research impact, given the lack of cumulative approaches we do not know. To what extent some of the findings or recommendations lead to changes in policy or institutional conduct has not been ascertained. A small number of queries, identifications of need, or proposals is offered at the end of the report. They are presented in four categories: a) Practical-operational, b) substantive-informational, c) macro-conceptual, and d) 7 methodological-conceptual. Their purpose is to stimulate and provoke discussion on at least some of the evident problem areas in research on international educational exchanges.

Cultural capital and the making of 'blue blazer kids': An ethnography of a youth exchange program.
(Doctoral dissertation, Syracuse University). Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 63, 899A).
Abstract:
This dissertation is a culmination of three years of participant observation of a Rotary International district in New England. The dissertation explores the ways in which a group of adults teaches teenagers about cultural difference. More specifically, this ethnographic project, which utilizes narrative, discourse, and content analyses, examines the complex pedagogical machinery used by this Rotary International district to recruit, interview, and American high school students for study abroad. The theories that guided this work are The Sociology of Knowledge, Symbolic Interactionism, Critical Theory, and Cultural Studies. I first provide a summary of this Rotary district's youth exchange program, including its goals, strategies and its expectations of and requirements for students. Secondly, I explore the ways in which Rotarians talk about, or discursively construct youth as a social category. I juxtapose Rotarians' narratives surrounding teenagers with dominant discourses extant in the United States regarding American teens. I then examine the ways in which Rotarians talk about and represent travel, particularly educational travel and cultural immersion. Lastly, I discuss Rotary's discourses of culture & how Rotarians talked about culture, itself, and the ways in which they represented specific cultures to students and to one another. I assert that the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, by recruiting and sending middle class kids to live in upper-class environments, reinscribe race and class privilege. Rotary's program, for American kids in particular, is a form of cultural capital that exists to reproduce a global business class. I also posit that Rotary Youth Exchange students, however, have agency as they resist and transgress the specific boundaries of Rotary's program and negotiate issues of cultural adaptation and personal change.

A language and cultural practicum course in Nanjing : maximizing the students' use of Chinese.
Frontiers : The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 7(3), 121-128.
Abstract:
This paper examines an experience-based language course operating in the field during an intensive language training program in Nanjing, China, during the summer of 1999. The objectives are to report on the design success of the 'language and cultural practicum' course, and thereby address best practices and challenges of experience-based language learning. In addition to four hours of classroom instruction each morning, students participated in an afternoon practicum course in which they were required to go off campus and interact with the Chinese community at large and gather specific information for specific assignments. Assets of the practicum course were its flexibility of design, allowing for student self-design of exercises, efficiency in tracking the students' whereabouts and structuring of their time, and production of an overall synergy of language learning by consciously exercising spoken skills in the field, reinforced with written practice in a daily journal write-up, capped off by a daily presentation during the evening debriefing class.

Developing a program for Spanish heritage learners in a small college setting.
ADFL Bulletin, 32(2), 29-32.
Abstract:
A small private woman's college in Raleigh with a traditional student base from the eastern part of North Carolina seems, at first glance, an unlikely locale for a program designed for Spanish heritage learners. Yet, in recent years, the United States Hispanic population has grown significantly even in areas not traditionally Hispanic, such as North Carolina. With a now burgeoning Spanish-language heritage population, North Carolina's educational institutions are being challenged at all levels to provide both a hospitable setting and appropriate curricular adaptations to serve the needs of this group, and small private colleges are no exception. The experience of Peace College provides an example of how a school that has not traditionally served Hispanic students can build programs for such heritage learners and how institutions with a relatively small Hispanic population can provide appropriate curriculum and resources for such learners.

An overview of issues and research in language learning in a study abroad setting.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, Fall, 4.
Abstract:
It has long been assumed that the combination of immersion in the native speech community, combined with formal classroom learning, creates the best environment for learning a second language. The power of this assumption is so great that there has evolved a popular belief, one shared by students and teachers, parents and administrators, that students who spend a period abroad are those who will ultimately become the most proficient in the use of their language of specialization. Consequently, hundreds of thousands of students depart annually for education abroad experiences with the expectation that they too will "pick up" if not become "fluent" in the target languages they have chosen to study, returning home with greatly enhanced language skills. Unfortunately, these popular perceptions aside, relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to documenting changes in the communicative language proficiency of students who have studied abroad. Similarly, little research has focused on examining the actual experiences that students have in the context of their sojourn abroad. The purpose of this chapter therefore, is to review what is currently known about second language acquisition (SLA) in a study abroad context and to identify some of the issues that confront those who wish to explore this topic in greater depth.

The economic and political impact of study abroad.
Comparative Education Review, 28(2), 203-220.
Abstract:
The migration of scholars seems to be a nearly universal phenomenon, characteristic of most societies with the possible exception of nations with highly isolationist policies, such as Burma and Albania. Americans and Europeans tend, however, to associate the phenomenon of study abroad to enhance prestige as primarily pertaining to Third World societies. Actually the phenomenon is much more pervasive, and in industrial societies such as the United States and Germany study abroad also carries high social prestige. The intense competition for the Marshall, Rhodes, and Fulbright overseas fellowships reflects the importance of study abroad in the United States. Though the study-abroad phenomenon is important in nearly all societies, the focus in this article is on the impact of study abroad in the developing nations.

U.S.-Africa cooperation in education at Northern Arizona University: Unexpected lessons.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 5(2), 146-164.
Abstract:
A total of 114 African educators came to Northern Arizona University (NAU), in Flagstaff, from 1988 to 1992 to attend a 45-day Summer Institute sponsored by the United States Information Agency. Two former participants in the program, who came back to NAU as graduate students, interviewed campus personnel and students and members of the surrounding community to examine the impact of the 5 year experience. The program's year-by-year evaluations were analyzed in light of interview responses. It was shown that the program helped the academic and surrounding communities discover other facets of African education and life that media often misrepresent in the mainstream subconscious. Participating African educators were very appreciative of the innovative curriculum and instructional methods they learned and were mesmerized by minority inclusion policies on campus. However, interviewees and the African educators deplored the United States's lack of awareness and interest in cooperation with Africa.

Issues of adjustment: A case study of international students attending Vancouver Community College.
Master's thesis, Simon Fraser University. Available from National Library of Canada (No. 0315911743).
Abstract:
In recent years the government of British Columbia has become active in international education activities. Several programs have been initiated with the intent of attracting larger numbers of international students to the Province's colleges and universities. The main target of these initiatives has been students in countries of the Pacific Rim. This thesis considers potential adjustment issues that need to be addressed by host institutions if they are to maximize benefits for international students, and reports the results of a questionnaire survey of adjustment problems experienced by international students attending Vancouver Community College.

Paper presented at the 29th ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference, San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Abstract:
It is imperative and incumbent upon our educational system that an engineer for the 21st century is not only technically talented, but culturally cognizant, societally supportive, and environmentally erudite. The practicing global engineer of the next millennium must be global in a management, marketing, and technological perspective. So must the student who pursues an undergraduate degree in engineering as the liberal arts degree of the 21st century, upon which to build a professional career as in medicine or law. To satisfy these diversified needs, it is important that engineering education especially must provide heightened global awareness and global enrichment opportunities both on and off campus. For example, in the U.S., there are about 15 million students in higher education annually, but only some 100,000 or 0.67% go abroad each year. Moreover, of these less than 2,000 are studying engineering, or 0.01% of the total.

Evaluation and study abroad: Developing assessment criteria and practices to promote excellence.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 5(Fall), 101-127.
Abstract:
This paper describes how the authors worked with a Task Force to develop the IES Model Assessment Practice (MAP), a set of detailed criteria to use in evaluating IES study abroad programs, and how IES is beginning to implement MAP. Two sets of theories provided the framework for the project: current thinking about educational program evaluation and assessment in the U.S., including current definitions of academic quality; and organizational learning, whereby the processes of planning and decision-making involve members of the organization in gathering, sharing, and interpreting information. The 18-month project was sponsored by IES, The Institute for the International Education of Students (formerly the Institute of European Studies). With this publication, we propose that study abroad practitioners join a dialogue about program evaluation and share models of good practice for the benefit of our students.

The practice of international education in the context of globalization: A critique.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 6(3), 262-267.
Abstract:
This article argues for a redefinition of international education to take account of its political implications in the contemporaryer a. Accepted goals of international education such as global competence are incoherent and, more important, morally, philosophically, and politically inadequate. This is especiallytrue in the American context in light of the United States's role as a real or perceived global hegemon. The article describes several experimental collaborative programs, jointly created by American and international educational institutions, which demonstrate the viability of international education projects that incorporate an anti-hegemonic stance based on principles of mutualityand equality.

Successful college and university foreign language programs, 1995-99: Part 1.
New York: Modern Language Association.
Abstract:
With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the MLA's Office of Foreign Language Programs conducted a survey in the fall of 1999 to determine what factors contribute to the success of foreign language departments. Because the MLA's enrollment surveys of 1995 and 1998 had revealed a significant decline in student interest in some traditionally taught languages, we defined successful departments as those that had stable or increasing enrollments between 1995 and 1999 in beginning and advanced courses and also those that had steady or growing numbers of majors. We realize that this definition is artificial. Departments may lose enrollments despite excellent teaching and effective practices. For example, a newly introduced credit transfer arrangement with a local college may draw students away from one institution to another. However, because administrators tend to look at student numbers as a criterion for determining departmental support, we concluded that enrollments do count from an institutional point of view.

Successful college and university foreign language programs, 1995-99: Part 2.
New York: Modern Language Association.
Abstract:
THE MLA's Office of Foreign Language Programs has undertaken a project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to discover what factors make foreign language programs successful. The field is increasingly aware of evolving conditions affecting foreign language programs in colleges and universities in this country. For one thing, enrollment patterns are changing. Before the project was undertaken, the MLA's 1995 and 1998 enrollment surveys showed that while the number of students studying languages remained relatively stable, Spanish enrollments represented more than half the total, and student interest had declined in three traditionally taught languages—French, German, and Russian. Enrollment in less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) was increasing slightly, and of those students not taking Spanish a greater number were studying a greater number of languages (Brod and Welles 23 and 28; table 1). The most recent enrollment survey for fall 2002 shows a marked change: registrations are up in all the fifteen most commonly taught languages. Increases are particularly notable for American Sign Language, Arabic, and Italian. The downward trends for German, French, and Russian have stabilized or shown signs of reversal. The number of LCTLs offered and the number of students studying them increased substantially as well (Welles, tables 1a and 1b).

Teaching beyond the classroom: Business internships in Latin America - Issues in cross-cultural adjustment.
Hispania, 76(4), 892-901.
Abstract:
More and more business programs are beginning to include international components such as internships in their curriculum. One such program is the international internship incorporated into the Master in International Business Studies Program at the University of South Carolina. This article reports on a survey that focused on assessing this internship component. Specifically, the survey examined four areas, including students' perceptions of language ability, their living situation, their social interactions, and their "on-the-job" performance. Although students participate in internships to a number of different countries, this qualitative study focused on participants in the Latin American program. A total of 20 students from the 1990 cohort and 12 students from the 1991 group participated. Data were collected through hour-long, in-depth interviews with the participants. Follow-up interviews were conducted with some of the employers and on-site staff.

The impact of a study abroad program in Jordan on undergraduate university students.
Texas: Ambassador University.
Abstract:
A study abroad program in Jordan has been run by Ambassador University (Texas) for the last 15 years. During this time, nearly 150 Ambassador University students have participated in a work-study program in Amman sponsored by the Ambassador Foundation. During their stay in Jordan, the students teach Jordanian students with physical and mental disabilities at one of three special education centers. The 20 students selected annually for the program are prepared for their teaching responsibilities by taking special education and conversational Arabic courses. Returning students have commented on how the exchange program has affected their lives and changed their outlook toward people of other cultures.

New York: Institute of International Education.
Abstract:
An Institute of International Education-commissioned study of the reasons for the rapid growth of U. S. college student study abroad in the 1980s features case studies of effective programs and suggests ideas for planning and evaluation of study abroad by U. S. colleges and universities. Focus is on the integration of international study into scientific, professional, and graduate fields. Reasons for the growth include: young Americans want to understand the world in which they live; foreign study gets less expensive as the dollar grows stronger; America's views of other nations have softened; and foreign travel is now very familiar. Topics include: "the point of it all" (educational and social goals and potential accomplishments, institutional and administrative goals and potential accomplishments, and institutional renewal); "ways to do it" (total immersion, brief stays, and U. S. facilities abroad); "tasks to be done" (for faculty, department, and central administration); "some questions to consider" (appropriate approach, focus, reciprocity, etc. ) "innovation" (in the liberal arts, science and technology, and graduate and professional); "where to go for help" (national organizations, models for a modest beginning, the overall scene); and conclusions and recommendations (the object lessons at hand and specific advice to campus officers). The appendix lists institutions visited in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, and Washington, D. C. An index is provided.

Beyond the language requirement: Interdisciplinary short-term study-abroad programs in Spanish.
Hispania, 84(1), 100-109.
Abstract:
In order to show students the interdisciplinary relevance of language study and to encourage nonlanguage majors to study abroad in programs where English is not the principal language of instruction, we propose the development of interdisciplinary short-term study-abroad programs. Using our course in cultural and environmental conservation in Latin America as a model, we offer evidence that short-term programs can provide students with an initial exposure to Latin American culture and diversity, give them a different perspective on their own field of study, spark their interest in further language study, and inspire them to find a way to fit a semester- or year-long study-abroad experience into their academic careers.

The challenge of internationalizing undergraduate education: Global learning for all.
Paper presented at the Global Challenges and U.S. Higher Education Conference, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Abstract:
This paper summarizes research conducted by the American Council on Education (ACE) on the state of internationalization of U.S. higher education, analyzes barriers to internationalization at the campus level, and suggests strategies to achieve internationalization throughout the undergraduate experience. It summarizes the findings of a two-phase research effort, funded by the Ford Foundation, which included a review of research conducted before 2000; surveys of public opinion before and after September 11, 2001; and a survey of college-bound high school seniors. It also included surveys of institutional policies and practices (n=752), of faculty (n=1,200), and of students (n=1290). Together, these data provide a picture of the climate for internationalization, interest among prospective and current students, and the attitudes and practices of faculty members. While attitudes of students, faculty, and the public are largely positive and favorable toward international education, institutional practices and policies reveal that most institutions are only minimally internationalized.

The faculty of the future: A transatlantic dialogue.
Washington, DC: American Council on Education.
Abstract:
Since 1989, the Transatlantic Dialogue Program has provided some 150 North American presidents and European rectors with the opportunity to reflect jointly and in some depth about higher education and their institutions. The initiative challenges the unexamined cultural assumptions that define our map of "the way things are" and, at the same time, encourages leaders to place their own institutions (by necessity the center of their daily universe) in a much broader, worldwide context. Whatever their differences, higher education institutions on both sides of the Atlantic have a great deal in common in terms of tradition and mission. The importance of probing these commonalities and differences, and of fostering greater collaboration, forms the basis of the Transatlantic Dialogue, a bi-annual meeting of presidents, rectors, and vice-chancellors sponsored by the American Council on Education and CRE: The Association of European Universities.

The Fulbright program in the global knowledge economy: the nation's neglected comparative advantage.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 1, 95-105.
Abstract:
The end of the Cold War has led to considerable retrenchment in aspects of American foreign affairs-virtually across the board. The assumption was that because the U.S. did not have some of these programs before the Cold War, surely it would need less of them after the Cold War. The Cold War provided a competition of ideas. Its existence increased appropriations for the Fulbright Program.

Beyond borders: A validation of the areas and indicators of quality of international education programming in U.S. two-year colleges.
(Doctoral Dissertation, Northern Illinois University).
Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to identify and validate the areas and indicators of quality international education programming in two-year U.S. colleges. Analysis of such indicators will provide colleges seeking to internationalize with a baseline of information from which to work. The validation process involved a review of literature on the topic and gathering of expert opinions from two panels. The first panel, numbering 10 jurors, was asked to judge the content, accuracy, and clarity of a validation document. A rating instrument of 12 areas and 175 indicators was established. The second panel, consisting of 30 raters, then rated the areas and indicators in the rating instrument using a Likert scale. The raters were grouped into professional categories to ascertain relationships between groups of raters and their ratings. Analysis of the data produced areas rated as most important (in descending order): faculty development, internationalizing the curricula, American student study abroad, presence of international students on campus, administrator development, student exchanges, intercultural studies, co-curricular events, area studies, membership in international educational consortia, technical assistance projects with international institutions or countries, and work abroad. The author recommends that the high-rated areas receive more attention and resources from internationalizing colleges.

American students abroad: Professional versus personal development.
The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 368(1), 43-59.
Abstract:
Interview and questionnaire data from approximately four hundred American students in France and from over five thousand Fulbright and Smith-Mundt grantees provide information concerning the sojourners' overseas interaction and postaward communication experiences as well as their evaluations of the personal development and professional consequences of their work abroad. Multivariate analyses of the survey data reveal that evaluations of professional development and prestige are closely related to the lecturers', research scholars', and exchange teachers' appraisals of personal development and overall satisfaction with their sojourns. For students, however, professional and personal development appear to be alternative outcomes of study abroad: those reporting more extensive interaction with host nationals and greater personal development and satisfaction tend to be less settled in adult roles and less committed to academic goals; whereas those indicating that study abroad furthered their professional development and advancement tend to be older, advanced graduate students who incorporated data gathered abroad in dissertations for advanced degrees, enabling them to obtain college faculty positions. Implications of these findings in terms of the goals of agencies sponsoring international educational exchange are discussed.

The effects of study abroad on community college students.
(Doctoral dissertation, Teachers College, Columbia University).
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if the attitudes of world mindedness and tolerance for out-groups were influenced positively by study abroad. The influence and significance of other selected variables were also studied in relation to study abroad by community college students. Study abroad is an option for students in increasing numbers of community colleges. Little research on study abroad in community colleges has been published. The available research on four-year colleges and university programs and students, and on foreign students studying in America is hardly applicable to the diverse student populations in community colleges. Students on campus and students studying abroad were tested at the beginning of the fall semester and again at the conclusion of the semester sixteen to eighteen weeks later. The changes in attitudes as a result of the semester of study at home or abroad were determined. Also, demographic factors were contrasted between the home campus and the study abroad groups. Day classes on the campus of Rockland Community College were randomly selected for testing.

How Iowa community colleges developed a consortium for study abroad.
Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the Community Colleges for International Development, Orlando, FL.
Abstract:
This document provides materials developed by Iowa's community colleges in establishing the Iowa Community College Consortium for Study Abroad, as well as materials from a Consortium study abroad program in England. First, a timeline is presented of actions taken between April 1994 and November 1996 in the development of the Consortium, including meeting dates, mailings to Iowa college presidents, the creation of a brochure, site visits to London, and the determination of colleges with students enrolled in the program and those interested in participating colleges are presented, reviewing methods for voting, responsibilities of the Consortium, methods for developing curricula, and minimum requirements for student participants. Following an overview of the Consortium, including a mission statement and description of goals, information is provided on a semester abroad program in England developed by the Consortium and Kirkwood Community College (KCC). Information is provided on the length of the program, available courses, travel, housing, and the cost per participant, indicating that charges for the program fee, a damage deposit, airfare, and KCC tuition total $5,745. Next, a sample mid-program evaluation instrument developed for the KCC program is presented, including questions on courses taken; instructional quality; satisfaction with housing, classrooms, and transportation; and student's best and worst experiences. Finally, sample responses are presented from a fall 1996 mid-program evaluation.

Adjustment difficulties of American students in Israeli institutions of higher learning.
Publication information not available.
Abstract:
This paper examines the extent to which American undergraduate students find problems adjusting to study in Israeli colleges, universities, and yeshivot with respect to the Hebrew language, academic matters, personal situations, and living arrangements. The study asked 671 undergraduate American students studying in Israel how difficult it was for them to make 53 specific school-related adjustments. It was found that, among the four problem areas considered, living arrangements posed the most serious and most frequent adjustment difficulties. The other areas, in descending order of seriousness, were the Hebrew language, academic matters, and personal situations. Living arrangement problems included lack of phone facilities (the most serious adjustment difficulty reported), lack of adequate facilities to prepare food, mobility problems on the Sabbath, problems concerning laundry facilities, and lack of privacy. Writing term papers and speaking Hebrew were the most serious difficulties in using the language; secretarial services and finding academic resources were among the academic problems frequently mentioned; and relating to Israeli students was the most formidable personal adjustment problem. The paper recommends that high school advisors in America and counselors of students planning to go to Israel for postgraduate study provide an orientation program addressing these problems and helping students develop strategies for dealing with them.

College students with disabilities and study abroad: Implications for international education staff.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 5(2), 81-100.
Abstract:
Students with disabilities are first and foremost students. As significant as their disability may appear to be, it often has relatively little significance to the study abroad experience. Other factors, such as selecting a program, academic planning, gaining family support, locating resources and housing, transportation plans, and cultural differences are often of far greater importance. In other words, the same issues that concern all students concern students with disabilities. Disability-specific issues can usually be translated into minimizing barriers to increase accessibility, and providing individual, ollaborative, and inclusive accommodations and supports. University staff may yearn for a concise set of rules for what they must do to allow students with disabilities to study abroad, but such rules do not exist. Our goal is to help international education staff collaborate with disability service providers and others in delivering services to students with disabilities. While writing this article, we experienced our own collaborative process as we discussed issues from the perspective of international education staff, disability services staff, and special education faculty.

The effect of work abroad experiences on career development for U.S. undergraduates.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, Fall, 1-23.
Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of vocational exploratory behavior on vocational self-concept crystallization (VSCC) and work commitment for U.S. undergraduates who participated in practical experiences overseas, compared to two groups: 1.) students not involved in practical experiences, and 2.) students who participated in practical experiences within the U.S. The above constructs are well-established in the vocational psychology literature and will be discussed later. In reviewing the literature, the effect of learning experiences in the workplace on work commitment and vocational self-concept crystallization has not been clearly demonstrated. In spite of the lack of definitive empirical support for this relationship, a long historical tradition exists for the learning-by-doing method, and this tradition is an important means of training students in a profession or trade.

Overseas students in the United Kingdom university system.
Higher Education, 29(1),77-92.
Abstract:
This paper is in two main sections. The first offers a brief historical account of the involvement of overseas students in the UK University system; the second reviews the literature on student attitudes to their stay, relating this to the contemporary experiences of a small cohort of students on a postgraduate professional training course in an older university.While overseas students have traditionally been perceived as somewhat problematic, more recently, driven by economic, political and intellectual considerations, the mode of analysis has moved away from situating the cause of any problems in the students themselves, and towards exploring the relations between the needs of overseas students and the resources dedicated by universities to meeting them. Unless universities take seriously the implications of having overseas students, which include organisational and staff development issues as well as the proper adaptation of teaching methods and techniques, there is serious potential for things to go wrong.

Abstract:
This short article provides a description of a study abroad program designed to meet the non-traditional student population at Floyd College in Georgia. It discusses the importance of study abroad and how the institution developed a study abroad program to target working class, older, and under-represented students. The details of the program are discussed along with a description of the difficulties faced and an evaluation of the first program. While the program was positive for those who participated, it did not reach the intended non-traditional student population.

The student as outsider.
International Educator, 11(2), 28-34.
Abstract:
To be an outsider or stranger in a foreign culture is always a challenge. Although the outsider has an opportunity to better understand a different culture as well as find out more about him or herself, the experience isn't always a comfortable one. Study abroad students often find themselves in this position. The lessons they learn while away from home studying language or the arts are not necessarily those that the student expected, but out of tension and incongruity, they may derive a different sense of who they are. This article examines that process for a group of U.S. university students.

Abstract:
Since 1953, attempts have been made to collect data about federal exchange programs and to coordinate this activity. Increasingly, better data and interagency information sharing will be needed to assess the impact of exchanges and areas where shrinking funds can best be invested. Better infusion of exchanges experiences into educational programming aimed at educating Americans about other peoples and cultures is similarly a challenge in the eighties.

Minorities and overseas studies programs: Correlates of differential participation.
New York: Council of International Educational Exchange (CIEE).
Abstract:
Despite increased efforts on the part of many institutions and program administrators to provide support and outreach, minority students continue to be underrepresented in study abroad. This study attempts to identify the reasons for this lower participation rate, and focuses on the Michigan State University, which has a very large study abroad program. Data for the study were collected by distribution of an extensive survey to both on-campus and off-campus student populations. The off-campus students received the survey through the mail and the on-campus students through Resident Assistants. A total of 1,139 students participated in the study. The report documents extensive findings from the survey, which include some of the reasons for lower participation in study abroad by different ethnic/racial groups.

Cooperation and Culture: Students from China and the United States in a prisoner's dilemna.
Cross-Cultural Research, 32(2), 171-184.
Abstract:
An important question facing those interested in comparative economic systems is how well the assumptions underlying market economic models fit in nonmarket contexts. Does individual economic behavior vary across cultures? The authors brought together Chinese undergraduates and students from an American college to play the classic prisoner's dilemma game. Facing monetary payoffs, each student played the game several times with different partners. A probit analysis is used to examine what influenced the students' decisions to cooperate or defect in each game. The authors found that American students behaved in a more self-interested, less cooperative manner than the Chinese students did in the prisoner's dilemma experiment. They also found that when foreign students studying in the United States are included with the American students to create a sample of students who grew up in a variety of different market economies, these students also behaved in a less cooperative manner than their Chinese counterparts.

Building and positioning successful study-abroad programs: A ``hands-on'' approach.
Journal of Teaching in International Business, 12(4), 49-62.
Abstract:
The growth in importance of international education is inescapable. The ability to effectively compete in the global environment is linked to many factors-one of which is a knowledge and understanding of the cultures involved. The traditional classroom approach to international business education, while useful, is limited in scope and impact. We approach the issue of international business education from a hands-on, action-oriented immersion approach-the study-abroad program. This paper examines the specifics of developing and implementing such a program, as well as pitfalls to avoid.

Preparing students for the international marketplace: International work programs.
Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association, San Francisco, CA.
Abstract:
Today's global marketplace demands that employees have cross-cultural skills and an understanding of international business as well as different cultures. College and university students have unique opportunities available to them to gain these skills and obtain experience working abroad, which may help them attain international careers. College and university (and other) career centers have a responsibility and role in helping students achieve these goals. One university's work abroad program developed by, and run through, a university career and student services offices is described.

Internationalizing business students through the study abroad experience: Marketing and recruitment challenges.
Paper submitted for the International Roundtable on Study Abroad Programs in Business Schools, Michigan State University.
Abstract:
This paper examines the reasons for the lack of study abroad experiences among business school students as compared to liberal arts students. An extensive survey of AACSB accredited institutions was conducted to understand their practices for providing (or lack thereof) international experience through study abroad programs. The paper specifically focuses on marketing challenges for study abroad programs. Suggestions are made to improve the situation for providing international experiences to business students to make them more effective in the global economy.

How to assure learning outcomes of study abroad.
Paper presented at the Annual EAIE Conference, Porto, Portugal.
Abstract:
We send students abroad expecting them to develop their language skills, their personality and to acquire an intercultural competency. This is generally expected to happen by osmosis, that is, by being surrounded by people from a foreign culture speaking a foreign language. Between 1997 and 2000, a study was undertaken in the UK to analyse how studies abroad are integrated into modern language programmes in the UK and identify ways to enhance the learning outcomes. The result is the LARA project (Learning And Residence Abroad): its course materials are designed to train students to take responsibility for their own linguistic and intercultural learning, using ethnographic methods. The session investigated ways to assure learning outcomes of study abroad and discussed how we can create an understanding of the importance of issue in order to have it brought on the political agenda.

Overseas studies and the rise of foreign cultural capital in modern China.
International Sociology, 17(1), 35-55.
Abstract:
The process of social transformation and opening to the outside world in modern China accompanied a process of rising importance and popularity of overseas studies. As a result, foreign education (mainly western education) gradually replaced traditional Chinese education as the dominating cultural capital and the most important means of social mobility in modern China. However, foreign education was by no means assumed valuable in the initial stage of its introduction, but experienced a long process of transformation from negative social meanings to positive cultural capital. The careers and life experience of the first group of returned students from the USA in the 1880s represent very well the process of such transformation. Three factors were crucial in the explanation of such a process: social contexts, occupational contexts and group formation. The unique social contexts of the mid-19th and early 20th centuries in China provided the first returned students' opportunities to demonstrate their outstanding performance and professional accomplishments. At the same time, the process of adopting western practices and lifestyles created increasing demand for western knowledge and western skills in China, and subsequently caused an occupational transformation which helped the rise of the new occupational sector in which the returned students made careers. Finally, the first returned students as a group actively promoted western education in China and constructed the identity of western-returned students as a positive social symbol.

Grade point average as a predictor of academic achievement for a credit abroad, language acquisition course. (Doctoral dissertation, University of Southern Mississippi).
Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 63(01), 38A).
Abstract:
Academic policymakers and administrators are charged with the responsibility of articulating and applying appropriate threshold criteria in order to affect desired learning outcomes. As international education becomes more central to the higher education experience and as the learning outcomes available for international education become increasingly essential to successful global citizenry, appropriate and judicious policies and practices must be developed. The study examined the relationship between the degree of student success on an academic study abroad program (final course grade) and the independent variables of cumulative grade point average (CPA), status, and gender. Participants included in the study were all students who participated in a 5-week summer study abroad Spanish language acquisition program in Mexico for the years 1996, 1997, and 1998. For program participation, students were required to be in good academic standing at their home institutions and have a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average. There were 107 participants included in the study. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with a .05 alpha level for all tests of statistical significance. There was a statistically significant relationship (p = .05) between the dependent variable of final course grade and the composite set of variables of cumulative GPA, gender, status, and their interactions. When testing individual variables while controlling for the others present in the full model, only cumulative GPA and the interaction of status and gender were shown to be statistically significant. The general purpose of the study was to determine if cumulative GPA, a commonly employed access threshold, was a reliable predictor of academic achievement on a study abroad, language acquisition course. The growing demand for international experiences for students, as evidenced by governmental and institutional policies and increasing numbers of participants in study abroad programs, will necessitate the development of fair and effective administrative policies grounded in outcomes-oriented research. The results coupled with the mission of the university may be used to assist administrators in formulating policies on admission to such credit abroad programs and generally help undergird procedures utilized to implement international education.

Why internationalize NASULGC institutions: Challenge and opportunity.
Washington, DC: Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities.
Abstract:
The case to internationalize higher education is unimpeachable. National borders are increasingly porous. Easier world-wide communication, travel, migration, trade, and the global dispersion of cultures shape local contexts and challenge higher education to "cross borders" in its missions of knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination.

Study and learning abroad: Integration with and support for internationalizing curriculum and learning.
Durham, NC: Duke Center for International Studies.
Abstract:
This paper starts from the assumption that study abroad, although widely misunderstood, is growing rapidly and offers huge potential value for undergraduate education in the United States. The paper identifies fundamental problems that currently hinder the acceptance of study abroad on American campuses and the integration of study abroad into undergraduate curricula. Interest in learning about other countries, other cultures and other languages is growing among pre-college students. Growth in study abroad participation by undergraduate students and a simultaneous decline in language learning are noted. The paper then makes the case, not only for providing American students with international knowledge and first-hand inter-cultural experience, but for making study and learning abroad a key strategy for attaining that end. Essential components of the strategy include the integration of study and learning abroad throughout the undergraduate curriculum and recognition that internationalization of the on-campus curriculum and expansion of opportunity to study abroad are mutually reinforcing and equally essential components for achieving overall educational objectives.

Methodological considerations in data collection for language learning in a study abroad context.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 4(Fall), 1-30.
Abstract:
To the extent that study abroad (SA) programs are intended to enhance the language skills of their participants, the design, implementation, and evaluation of them must address the issue of how best one acquires a second language, which in turn entails other questions: What does it mean to acquire a second language? How is the acquisition of another language measured and/or evaluated? How does the SA experience affect it? At least two factors contribute to the fact that these rich data sources are not exploited for answers to these questions more than they are. First, the range of experiences which fall under the rubric of "study abroad" is so varied and complex that generalizations about optimal learning contexts need to be made with great caution. Second, often those best positioned to study this aspect of the SA experience, namely program administrators and teachers, are trained in disciplines which do not prepare them for this task. The purpose of this paper is to outline a series of factors that together provide a framework for looking at SA and to outline some research approaches, methods and techniques appropriate for examining the language acquisition aspects of this experience.

Students with disabilities and opportunities to study abroad.
Journal of Studies on International Education, 2(2), 117-129.
Abstract:
Within the context of increasing opportunities for study abroad, it is important to ensure that students with disabilities can be included in international programs. However, to ensure that their participation is of the highest quality, there are several additional challenges to be met. The first section of the paper explores these and discusses the availability of appropriate information, financial concerns, and issues of access, both in the physical sense of access to buildings and also the educational sense of access to learning and the curriculum. The next section describes three case studies of disabled students and study abroad, including individual visits, group arrangements, and a European pilot program organized from Ireland. The closing section provides brief practical guidelines to assist in the inclusion of students with disabilities in international programs.

Assessing student learning in study-abroad programs: A conceptual framework and methodology for assessing student learning in study-abroad programs.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 2, 59-80.
Abstract:
Conventional wisdom dictates that international education promotes student development and the acquisition of worthwhile knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Accrediting agencies, hower, demand concrete evidence to substantiate such claims. This article describes the development of a conceptual framework and methodology for the academic assessment of student learning in study-abroad programs with reference to knowledge acquisitions, skills acquisition, attitudinal development, and social development. Conceptually, the framework is derived from the developmental theory of Erik Erikson and the taxonomies of educational objectives developed by Benjamin Bloom and his associates. Methodologically, focus groups are employed to generate assessment data, in a procedure akin to small-group instructional diagnosis (SGID). Based on data colleged in two focus groups conducted as a pilot study, more narrowly circumscribed coding categories were constructed within the broader domains of cognitive learning, behavioral skills acquisition, affective learning, and social development. The responses of students in the two pilot groups suggest that educational gains in study-abroad programs occur primarily in the affective and social domains of learning, including values clarification, attitude change, personal development, and social maturity.

Study abroad programs: Creating awareness of and changing attitudes to nursing, health and ways of living in other cultures.
Contemporary Nurse, 6(3/4), 152-156.
Abstract:
Multicultural society requires nurses to care for individuals and families with different cultural and religious values to their own. Study abroad programs for nursing students enable the students to be exposed to nursing, health and ways of living in other cultures. Students undertook a program at Chiang Mai University, Thailand through an international university linkage arrangement during 1997. Students concerns, expectations and perceived benefits of study abroad experiences were investigated in this non-experimental descriptive study, which involved a serial interview process incorporating three interviews before, during and after the program. Students undertaking the program acknowledged that they gained increased confidence and an understanding of different cultures. It was concluded that students did develop an increased awareness of and experienced attitudinal changes towards the cultures and health care needs of the country visited.

The impact of participation in a study abroad programme on students' conceptual understanding of community health nursing in a developing country.
Journal of Advanced Nursing, 28(4), 911-917.
Abstract:
A pilot study was undertaken to ascertain the changes in conceptual understanding that resulted from participation in a study abroad programme in Chiang Mai in Thailand of a small group of Australian final year nursing students. Students' conceptual understandings were measured by means of open-ended interviews based on a case study scenario describing health conditions in a hypothetical Thai village. Students were asked to imagine that they had been appointed to work as a community health nurse in the village and describe how they would undertake the task. Shifts in understanding were detected by interviewing the participants before, during and after their participation in the programme and comparing their responses. The results of this limited study indicated that the impact of participation in the programme was less than expected. Furthermore, the factors of which students tended to show greatest awareness were those about which they had been briefed prior to departure. Nevertheless participants reported they had learnt much from their experiences. It is suggested that the discrepancy between the evidence provided by interview data and students' self-reports may be explained by participation having resulted primarily in the acquisition of the tacit rather than conceptual knowledge.

The impact on attitudes towards cultural differences of participation in a health focused study abroad program.
Contemporary Nurse, 9(3/4), 246-260.
Abstract:
The changes in attitudes towards cultural difference of seventeen participants in a three-week community health study abroad program to Nepal were compared with the changes in attitudes of a similar group who did not participate in the tour. Participants in the tour group were surveyed eight weeks prior to departure and in the last week of the tour using a twenty-six item questionnaire employing a six-point forced-choice response scale. The responses of participants in the tour group showed significant shifts in relation to eight items compared while the responses for the control group showed no significant shifts. Observed student advantages of participation in this study tour included the development of independent behaviour and positive cultural adjustment and adaptation.

The IES MAP (Model Assessment Practice) for study abroad: Charting a course for quality (2nd Ed.).
Chicago: Institute for the International Education of Students.
Abstract:
The IES MAP (Model Assessment Practice) for Study Abroad was created in response to the growing need for more effective program development and assessment in international education. The IES MAP is an educational tool for designing and evaluating study abroad programs and is the first of its kind in the field. It was developed by a task force of outstanding leaders in both international and U.S. higher education who drew on extensive site visits and solid data analyses of a wide variety of program components. Initially, the IES MAP was created for use by IES to assess existing programs and develop new ones. However, it also can be significant benefit to faculty and administrators at U.S. colleges and universities, to study abroad professionals and accrediting organizations, as well as to students and their parents. The IES MAP focuses on four academic areas: the student learning environment; student learning and the development of intercultural competence; resources for academic and student support; and program administration and development.

North American higher education cooperation- An inventory of U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico academic linkages.
New York: Institute of International Education.
Abstract:
This report describes the variety of bilateral linkages which have been developed by U.S. institutions with specific Canadian and Mexican colleges in a wide range of fields. Out of 1,219 U.S. colleges and universities responding (35 percent response rate) to a survey concerning educational linkages, 109 reported linkages with Canadian institutions, 182 listed Mexican linkages, and 56 had linkages with both countries. (Similar surveys were also sent to Canadian and Mexican institutions.) A great many linkages were found at the faculty level, mostly short-term in nature. The primary motivating forces behind linkage development were found to be faculty contacts and the international education program focus of the U.S. institution. Lack of student interest and financial constraints were reported as the main obstacles to linkages with Canadian and Mexican institutions, with the additional problem of language competence in the case of Mexico. All three countries reported undergraduate students as being largely self-funded while involved in linkage programs. Overall, responses described positive impacts from linkages at all levels. Survey comments reflected enthusiasm and support for maintaining and increasing North American linkages while seeking solutions to the barriers that exist. Appendices, comprising 80 percent of the report, includes survey forms and list the institutional partners and fields involved in the linkages.

Best Practices-Tactics to Increase Access to International Scholarship Programs by Women and Other Under-Represented Group.
Annapolis Junction, MD: IIE Books.
Abstract:
The ideas in this booklet were collected by the Institute of International Education to promote greater participation by women from developing countries in international scholarship programs. Many of the points would be applicable to other underrepresented groups as well. A number of suggestions are made to increase recruitment of women to scholarship and grant programs. These include outreach efforts and carefully worded recruitment materials. Suggestions to help candidates in the selection process focus on written applications and in-person interviews. Also important to the participation of women in international scholarship programs are the terms and conditions of the award. Programs should be as flexible as possible within the limitations of award terms. Monitoring and evaluation are also essential to ensure that representation is documented for planning purposes.

Study abroad: A guide for women.
New York: Institute of International Education.
Abstract:
This handbook, one product of the Ford-supported project, offers women around the world practical information on the variety of issues involved in study abroad. Much of the material in this handbook is based on in-depth interviews with a group of program alumnae who met with IIE staff to discuss their personal experiences studying abroad. Hailing from countries as widely separated both geographically and culturally as Argentina and the Sudan, Hungary and Indonesia, Costa Rica and South Africa, each participant brought her own perspective and unique anecdotal reflections to the conversation. Despite the group's inherent diversity, it became clear that these women also had much in common—as international students, as engaged and committed professionals, and, not least, as women pursuing their dreams in what is still largely a man's world.

Abstract:
As a modern-day International Educator you might easily believe that you are involved in a pioneering endeavor. Would it surprise you to learn that you had predecessors in Ireland thirteen hundred years ago? Did you know that the Emerald Isle attracted swarms of eager foreign students, principally from England, to its monastic schools as early as the seventh century? Monastic schools were the universities of medieval Europe. In this article I will portray—from the scanty records that survive— scenes from the life of these "study abroad students" in Ireland's early medieval centers of learning.

Institutional factors in the internationalization of higher education: A critical and interpretative essay.
Paper presented at the Regional Conference on International and Higher Education in Canada, Queen's University, Kingston, ON.
Abstract:
The internationalization of higher education is a recognized mission, aim or objective for most Canadian universities. The rationale for it is well documented in the literature (for example in Knight, p. 207) Thus, this paper will not focus on advocacy for internationalization or on reviewing the rationale for promoting critical global consciousness within the educational system. Rather, the purpose of this interpretative essay is to recognize and explore the circumstances and reasons for the contradiction between the rhetoric and the actual practice and achievement of internationalization. In exploring this gap, we are first interested in identifying the factors, or independent and intervening variables, working for and against internationalization, and outlining a framework for diagnosing the obstacles to internationalization. In the second part we will be sketching a suggested prescriptive model for discussion and policy-formulation, based upon the previous conceptual analysis, observation and critical reflection.

Diversity issues in study abroad.
Providence, RI: Office of International Programs, Brown University.
Abstract:
This is a collection of quotes by Brown University students about their experiences abroad. The quotes were gathered through a survey of study abroad students returning from either spring semester/full year 1999-2000 or fall semester 2000-2001 abroad. The survey directly addressed issues of diversity in study abroad including ethnicity, heritage, sexual orientation, religion, minority/majority issues, physical appearance, and language. It was designed to elicit thoughtful and honest responses from participating students. [Author]

Rapid rural appraisal: Teaching undergraduates field research in rural México.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, 2, 46-59.
Abstract:
Principles of ethnographic research, rural sociology, and interpersonal communication formed the basis of a collaborative study between Mexican and/or Hispanic and U.S. undergraduates. Students from both cultures learned to apply principles of qualitative research under the direction of faculty from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey and Ohio University. Rapid rural appraisal, a methodology appropriate for multidisciplinary research, was used to assess the attitudes of a rural population relative to socioeconomic and political issues. Undergraduates learned principles of field research within the context of a practical and informative pedagogical exercise.

Experiential learning in emerging markets: Leveraging the foreign experience.
Paper presented at the Emerging Markets and Business Education: Trends and Prospects Conference, Atlanta, GA.
Abstract:
In recent years, business schools in North America have been involved in efforts to internationalize their business curricula, a task given greater urgency by the opening up of markets previously closed to western firms. While most schools have succeeded in infusing some international content in their core business courses, relatively few yet require practical overseas experience as part of the curriculum, even though this appears to be an essential component of developing students' interdisciplinary business competence. Moreover, the business environment in emerging markets is even further from most students' experience and understanding than the relatively stable environment of western market economies, so there is a greater need for students to gain first-hand experience of the challenges of living and working there. This paper critically examines the role of the foreign experience in international business education in emerging markets by applying experiential learning theory to seven types of foreign experience. From this perspective, only four of the seven appear to offer a valuable learning experience in developing interdisciplinary competence.

A balance sheet for east west exchanges.
IREX occasional papers 1(1).
Abstract:
Four papers discuss research exchanges between the United States and the USSR and East Europe. The first paper considers the evolution of perceptions of social scientists in these countries during the Cold War and Detente. The dominant view of American researchers during the Cold War was that the United States, as the most modern society, was the yardstick for measuring other societies. The United States experienced rapid growth of training and research related to the Soviet orbit. However, Soviet scholars were constrained by Marxist-Leninist doctrine and by educational and research policies. In the 1960s, American social scientists gained a greater appreciation for the complexities of modern societies and East European social scientists began innovative studies. The second paper discusses evaluations of research exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union. The conclusion is that these exchanges are scientifically valuable to both countries. The most serious problem is Soviet political repression of its scientific community. The third paper discusses problems and accomplishments of East European studies in the United States. Although progress seems to be steady, American social scientists have come to pursue topics that are politically safe, and thus often of secondary importance. The final paper suggests that in exchanges between the Soviet Union and the United States, both academic and government communities profit. The point that Soviet exchanges are generally in sciences and engineering and American exchanges are in history and literature illustrates that each side sends whom it wishes. Thus, the author concludes that this type of exchange is neither unbalanced nor unfair.

The articulation of international expertise in the professions.
Paper presented at the Global Challenges & US Higher Education conference, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Abstract:
Over the 1990s, professional schools in US higher education significantly extended their international reference in the mission to globalize. Professional schools articulate that commitment in different ways, however. We review representations of leading professional schools' international ambitions and consider their existing and potential articulation with area studies and its contextual expertise. Beyond obvious markers of affinity with joint degrees and emphases on place, we also explore how one might extend the contextual expertise of area studies into the problem formation of research and education in the professions. In general, we recommend that we consider how to extend the American academy's engagement with publics abroad, on the one hand, and extend the American public's debate about globalization's value and alternatives by drawing professional students from abroad into the constitution of global publics on American campuses.

International service learning: The importance of partnerships.
Community College Journal, Dec./Jan., 39-41.
Abstract:
Over the past two decades, study abroad and service-learning opportunities have increased significantly on community college campuses across the U.S. Community college faculty, administrators, presidents and board members who are interested in supporting the development of service-learning programs in their local communities and exchange programs overseas can easily obtain information. A variety of sources includes academic publications, Web sites and professional conferences. Despite the wealth of resources available on the nuts and bolts of developing service learning and study abroad programs, there is comparatively little information available to help community college personnel effectively combine service learning with study abroad.

Economic analysis of foreign education and students abroad.
Journal of Development Economics, 56(2), 337-365.
Abstract:
The role of knowledge accumulation in economic growth has been well discussed in the literature. By assuming the possibility of knowledge import by study abroad, this paper presents a growth model of knowledge creation and import. This paper also derives testable implications in three aspects of foreign education: the choice of host countries by foreign students, the number of students abroad from one origin country, and the growth effect of foreign education. In all these aspects, empirical observations agree well with the predictions of the model.

Abstract:
In this presentation the authors share the thoughts that have influenced their actions at Brevard Community College and give examples of what they have been doing along with recommendations. The authors believe that, to live effectively and affectively in our rapidly evolving global society, individuals need additional kinds of knowledge and creative ways of becoming more self-educating; it is imperative, they advise, that American educators understand and appreciate the critical relationship of transcultural education and general education.They further point out that general education must be more concerned with the affective as well as the cognitive. Content-centered learning has relied heavily on accuracy and literalness at the expense of style and persuasive power.

Increasing engineering student participation in study abroad: A study of U.S. and European programs.
Journal of Studies in International Education, 4(1), 79-102.
Abstract:
It is generally assumed that undergraduate students in any major benefit significantly from study abroad, with respect to personal, academic, and pre-professional development. For students in all professional programs, and for engineering students in particular, it has become increasingly important to acquire global competency. As nations become more economically interdependent, the engineering profession increasingly involves international bids and projects, demands interaction with international colleagues because of rapid advances in technological developments, and requires engineers to gain an awareness of world events and the global economy as well as acquire intercultural understanding. However, engineering graduates generally do not have the necessary skills to work in an international environment, as few engineering students gain international experience by either studying or interning abroad as part of their education. Engineering students encounter a number of barriers preventing them from taking advantage of international study. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of and compare the types of initiatives in the Untied States and Europe designed to increase the numbers of engineering students participating in international study, and to present recommendations to remove the barriers to study abroad encountered by engineering students. The authors are aware that international experience as part of an engineering undergraduate education is a matter of great concern, and that a number of actions are being implemented to facilitate increased mobility. This paper contributes to these current and future initiatives.

A descriptive study of the barriers to study abroad in engineering undergraduate education and recommendations for program design.
(Doctoral dissertation, Montana State University).
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the design of study abroad programs, which would be suitable for engineering students. By surveying coordinators of international programs in engineering in the U. S. and in the European Union, different program designs were examined, which led to an understanding of how certain programs have been able to remove some of the traditional barriers. These barriers include problems with credit transfer, lack of support by engineering faculty, lack of foreign language, stringent curricular design, lack of funding to develop appropriate programs, and student's misperceptions regarding study abroad. Findings indicated that the European Union programs were more successful in developing options suitable for engineering students and removing these barriers. Successful programs are typically those which are promoted by the college or department of engineering, offer study options in an English speaking setting, award full credit at the home institution, offer financial assistance, and require students to be at least in their third year of studies.

Teacher education: The world dimension.
Washington, DC: National Council for the Social Studies.
Abstract:
The preparation of teachers to accomplish the objectives underlying the International Education Act of 1966 is a focal point on which major efforts must be concentrated so that new perspectives can be introduced into the structure and content of American education. The federal government role will be to provide large-scale financing for international teacher education programs, while major responsibility for defining and implementing ideas and activities will lie with the universities. Schools must cooperate to solve such problems as the awarding of inservice growth credit for teacher participation in international programs, and they must systematically promote collaboration between schools of education and the traditional disciplines whose focus in research and teaching involves world affairs. Teacher education programs designed to internationalize future American teachers must consist of overseas teaching experience which (1) enables the prospective teacher to enter the lives of others at a level deep enough to make mutual understanding possible, (2) is accompanied by structured discourse of a course or seminar type, and (3) is undertaken by the student teacher not only as a consumer but also as a producer, one who will be faced with the obligation to transmit the results of his experience to the students in the classroom.

Abstract:
This paper describes an international clinical internship that uses a developmental model to build inter-cultural sensitivity in baccalaureate social work students. The paper analyzes the stages students go through as they struggle to develop a bi-cultural professional perspective. This model adheres to the position that cross-cultural practice in a multicultural world not only conforms to the emerging picture of life in the United States, but is also in accord with the values of social work.

Overseas students of Arabic and their teachers: Issues in program implementation.
Abstract:
A study investigated beliefs about language learning held by American adult students of Arabic studying in two programs, one in Morocco and one in Yemen, and compared them with beliefs held by the teachers. Subjects were 44 students and 10 teachers from the Morocco program and 27 students and 7 teachers from the Yemen program. Subjects were surveyed on the first day of classes, before placement tests were conducted. Some demographic differences were found in the two program populations. Survey questions concerned language learning strategies and patterns, personal motivation for language learning, language aptitude, and the nature of language learning. Results indicate that the student and teachers did hold differing beliefs about language learning. Implications for classroom instruction, curriculum design, and evaluation are explored. The questionnaire is appended. Contains 39 references.

Towards reconciliation in the motherland: Race, class, nationality, gender, and the complexities of American student presence at the University of Ghana, Legon.
Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 7, 25-59.
Abstract:
Over the past fifteen years the worldwide growth of U.S. study abroad locations, the increasing number of "heritage" destinations, and an increasing theoretical sophistication have troubled these general assumptions. The following paper, co-written by an American alumna of a U.S.-based study abroad program at the University of Ghana, Legon, and a U.S.-based American professor specializing in International and Black Atlantic Studies, will explore one particularly freighted instance of the end of such assumptions, by addressing the American student presence at the University of Ghana, Legon. Examination of the Legon case will, we hope, be valuable for all study abroad professionals, because the American student presence at Legon challenges all of the traditional assumptions noted just above.

American nursing scholars abroad, 1985-1995.
Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 32(4), 415-420.
Abstract:
To explore the international activities of American nursing scholars from 1985 to 1995, as indicated by their international teaching, scholarship, and consultation. All faculty (N = 2,254) teaching in nursing doctoral programs in the United States were surveyed using an investigator-designed questionnaire. The professional characteristics of American nursing scholars who worked abroad and the dates, nature, and types of international activities they undertook were ascertained. From a total of 928 usable returns, 247 described international activity. Data indicated a three-fold increase in international activity from 1985 to 1995 in the three major areas investigated. Universities in Western Europe and Asia were the most frequent recipients of nursing scholarly activity. The scholars or representatives of the host institutions made approximately half the initial contacts. The international hosts or U.S. universities were the predominant providers of funding. Nurses most likely to participate in international scholarly activity were senior faculty who were full professors in doctoral-granting institutions, published in international journals, presented educational topics, and were recognized by peers through membership in honorary organizations. A substantial increase in international nursing scholarship occurred during the decade studied, particularly related to teaching.

Bridging the gap: Internationalizing university curricula.
Journal of Studies on International Education, 5(2).
Abstract:
This article is a case study of how one university is internationalizing all its courses so that all graduates will demonstrate an international perspective as professionals and citizens. This focus on courses and their teaching, learning, and assessment promotes international education, multiculturalism, and the recognition of intercultural issues relevant to professional practice. The first section deals with structural options and pathways for course design when internationalizing curricula and the defining characteristics of such options. The second and final section of the article outlines ways in which an internationalized curriculum broadens the scope of the subject to include international content and/or contact and sets up teaching and learning to assist in the development of cross-cultural communication skills. Internationalizing university curricula is a powerful and practical way of bridging the gap between rhetoric and practice to including and valuing the contribution of international students.

The political economy of international student flows: Patterns, ideas, and propositions.
In Smart, J. C. (Ed.), Higher Education: Handbook of Theory and Research, Vol. XXI, 545-590. Netherlands: Springer.
Abstract:
The flow of international students into U.S. higher education has received substantial attention following policy and enrollment shifts in the aftermath of 9/11. Considerable political debate has surrounded the Bush administration and Congress' promotion and implementation of various policies and practices related to national security that target international students and enlist higher education institutions as collaborators in foregrounding security concerns over those of privacy, civil rights, and unfettered academic exchange. Some presidents of prominent research universities, such as MIT, have been publicly critical of many of the measures, partly because international graduate students are so central to the U.S. higher education economy. Many others in the academy have also voiced concerns, in the context of a higher education environment in which entrepreneurial colleges, universities, and professionals are actively recruiting international students, for cultural as well as economic reasons. In this chapter, we trace such political and economic forces that shape the global flow of international students.

Language learners' sociocultural interaction in a study abroad context..
(Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University). Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 62(02), 498A).
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the language learning experiences of four female American undergraduate learners in an American university-sponsored study abroad program in the south of France. This ethnographic case study considers how the participants' perceptions of language, identity, and foreign language learning interacted with their year abroad experiences. In order to focus on how they functioned in this learning environment and how they felt their interactions affected their experiences, this study was informed by sociocultural theory and specifically by social identity theory as applied to foreign language learning. This study covered a span of approximately eighteen months, including pre- and post-study abroad periods at the American university and the academic year abroad. Data were collected by using field observation, individual interviews, informal discussions, videotaped interaction, photographs, and documents, including essays, personal journals, and e-mail messages. From a recursive analysis of data sources, the emergent themes highlight complexities of social and cultural dynamics and individual dimensions relating to the participants' experiences abroad. Despite the participants' strong assumption that the most efficient way to learn another language is in a study abroad program, their need to negotiate their identities with regard to educational expectations, peer-group influences, and personal connections led them to create and miss opportunities for language learning. With one exception, the participants positioned themselves as classroom language learners and by doing so, their possibilities to internalize, personalize, and remain open to unexpected cultural interaction were limited. Through their individual stories, this dissertation shows that the study abroad setting provided a holistic experience including formal language study and some informal language contact. However, the study abroad program, as an extension of the American university, strongly defined participants' experiences as a coming of age, primarily tied to personal growth and learning, rather than as an experience of natural or automatic language learning.

In education and in work: The globalized community college.
The Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 32(2), 47-77.
Abstract:
This is a multiple case study of seven colleges using field methods research to examine institutional life and organizational context. This study determines that community colleges in both Canada and the United States exhibited educational and work behaviors in the 1990s consistent with the globalization process. Education was oriented to the marketplace, and the needs of business and industry received high priority in educational programming. Work within these institutions was valued for and carried out with economic ends: to realize productivity and efficiency.

The effect of study abroad at the Latin American Studies Program on conceptualization of humanity of other cultures in Caucasian university students.
Washington, DC: Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
Abstract:
The purpose of the investigation was to examine how Caucasian students' perceptions of peoples of the host cultures changed during a semester of study abroad. Students pass through five stages of conceptual development in thinking about other cultures. Stage one is characterized by seeing people from the host culture largely as stereotypes without reference to personal interaction. In stage two a person references personal experiences to give examples of generalized or stereotypical behavior. In Stage three a person has had enough experience to see that people in the host culture are as human as themselves. In Stage four the sojourner reflectively applies concepts to the immigrants and foreign or ethnic communities with whom they have had personal experience in their home culture. Stage five is an application of this newfound humanity to people of other cultures whom they have not encountered. A critical pedagogical framework was found to scaffold and support students' transformative experiences.

Teaching business across cultures: A first person experience.
Journal of Business Education.
Abstract:
As "international" business programs proliferate throughout the world, the mixing of cultures creates new teaching challenges. We describe a personal experience in which an American professor coped with cultural differences at INSEAD in France. End-of-course student evaluations revealed a variety of problems that the professor needed to resolve. He applied principles of continuous improvement in the next course he taught at INSEAD. The principles applied here should be broadly applicable to college professors, not only those working with "international" students.

"Excellent foreigner!": Gaijinization of Japanese language and culture in contact situations.
(Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania). Available from UPenn Dissertation Depository. (No. AAI9627938).
Abstract:
Although study abroad programs have attracted many language educators and learners, little empirical research has been conducted on what is actually happening in daily interactions that non-native speakers are exposed to in the host country. This ethnographic study is one of the first studies for any language, and is the first such study for Japanese, that focuses on linguistic and cultural learning in natural settings during a homestay program. It explores the linguistic and behavioral features of the Japanese host families in the dinner table contact situations. Since most descriptive conversational studies on Japanese in the past have looked only at the speech of educated, middle-class speakers of the standard dialect, this study is one of the few that includes an examination of other Japanese codes (foreigner talk, regional dialects) that non-native speakers routinely encounter. Methodologically, the study employs video recordings of naturally occurring interactions, collected by what I call the "remote observation method," as well as conventional audio recordings, questionnaires and interviews. One of the major findings was that the Japanese hosts' presentation and interpretation of Japanese language was, mostly unconsciously, modified for the American guest students (gaijinization), the norms of which were different from those of their native situations. In addition to the gaijinization of language use, the Japanese hosts' presentation of Japanese culture and interpretation of the American students' behaviors were also modified (gaijinized) for the American guest students. On the theoretical side, it is hoped that this study provides opportunities to critically evaluate the sociolinguistic concept of "appropriateness" in language interaction with foreigners by paying more attention to the dynamic aspects of language use in contact situations. On the pragmatic side, the findings from this study suggest more effective preparations for participants in homestay settings.

Research in international exchange: Why?.
Paper presented at the U.S.-German Conference on Research on Exchanges, Bonn, West Germany.
Abstract:
This paper identifies some major research areas which may lead to joint cross-national research projects. The five potential research areas are purely scholarly interests, policy interests, accountability and self-study, interest in planning, and a secondary area, but not to be forgotten, personal interest. In concluding, the author pleads for tolerance: we cannot rely on any conventional wisdom, on common terminology, or on assuming that we know what each one of us is after. Not only the subject of this research, but the research itself is a cross-cultural experience.

A Host Country's View: The Federal Republic of Germany.
Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 491, 73-84.
Abstract:
The Fulbright program is evaluated from a host country's perspective. The transition from a program in occupied Germany in 1952 to a truly binational program with sharing of funding and supervision since 1964 is shown in the historical setting, added responsibilities, and the Fulbright Commission's contributions in four areas: cultural foreign relations, academic cooperation, educational reforms, and bilateral cultural consultations. The dual goal of the Fulbright design-to advance academic knowledge and to promote mutual understanding-is pursued in binational and regional cooperation. The role of the Commission, the Board of Foreign Scholarships and the contracting governments places emphasis upon true partnership rather than the image of the Fulbright as being an American government program.

Challenges faced by academic programs abroad: Breaking stereotypes & promoting intercultural awareness.
Paper presented at the International Congress on Challenges to Education, Mexico City.
Abstract:
What leads human beings from a state of fear, ignorance, and distrust (if not hatred) of those who are culturally different to a state in which they want to understand, communicate, and connect? The indications of widespread denial, defense, and minimization, which surfaced in this case study would lead interculturalists to suggest that the best starting point for concerned educators at Augsburg and other schools where similar attitudes have been identified, is at the most basic level - simply helping students to recognize and appreciate the existence of cultural differences.

Abstract:
Presents a model of overseas teaching by which student teachers are placed in foreign schools for eight-week teaching assignments. Finds that student teachers are able to successfully complete assignments in overseas schools, develop a knowledge and appreciation of different cultures, add to their repertoire new teaching skills and techniques, increase their confidence as effective educators, and generally enhance their personal and professional growth and development. Recommends that greater exposure to international issues should be encouraged in teacher- training institutions.[PGAJW]

The world looks at the American program.

Abstract:
Technical proficiency is insufficient apart from a liberal education. On the intellectual level, the liberal mind, that trusts reason and rejoices in the truth and, therefore, does not contradict for the sake of contradiction, is the only answer to communism. The United States should see that the foreign students in this country are liberally as well as technically educated. Abroad, the United States would do well to sponsor educational institutions in countries lacking the administrative framework, philosophy of education, organization, trained personnel, and elementary tools to do it themselves. As the universal language of communication, English brings opportunity to those who master it for disseminating knowledge and culture, for good or evil, throughout the world. The United States could, also, assist printing in the vernaculars. Thoroughly trained experts in Asian and African languages and cultures should be prepared and sent abroad. Europe should be drawn into a cultural as well as military and political alliance with the United States in confronting the world. A philosophy and practice of universal humanism are called for. A cultural emergency exists today precisely because cultural obligations were not understood and acted upon in the past.

Study abroad pedagogy: A case study of the development and practice of the Pitzer College Fieldbook.
(Doctoral dissertation, The Claremont Graduate University). Available from Dissertation Abstracts International. (No. 63, 878A).
Abstract:
Study abroad in recent decades has become more visible in the landscape of American undergraduate education as witnessed by the surging numbers of participants and programs that serve them. Research about the educational practice of study abroad, on the other hand, has tended to lag behind the development of the activity itself, creating a need for scholarship on student learning in that setting. The subject of this study is a pedagogical technique designed to foster and assess intercultural learning. Developed at Pitzer College and known as the Fieldbook, the technique employs an integrated and diverse series of writing assignments, which students complete during their semester abroad. The study uses a variety of methods of inquiry, including historical and content analyses, focus groups and surveys to place the Fieldbook in its historical and theoretical context and to effect a holistic description of its design and implementation. The Fieldbook is a good example of how an innovation can be realized through the collaborative, longitudinal energies of study abroad practitioners: faculty, staff and students. Created for use in a Pitzer College program in Italy, it was revised extensively over a decade, as it was adapted for programs in eight other countries. Feedback from students and staff provided the information critical to improve the Fieldbook, making it a malleable tool for facilitating intercultural learning and a central feature of the Pitzer study abroad model. Challenges addressed in the Fieldbook's development included, among other things, issues of privacy in student writing, the lack of clear criteria for assessing assignments, staff training, student complaints about workload, intercultural sensitivity, and student resistance to high stake (graded) writing. The study concludes with suggestions for strengthening the Fieldbook's design and practice and with recommendations for how research on applied pedagogy can enhance the quality of experientially oriented study abroad and other types of non-classroom learning.

The intercultural reentry: Conceptualization and directions for future research.
International Journal of Intercultural Relations, 8, 115-134.
Abstract:
While there has been extensive research on the cultural adjllstment of sojourners to a foreign culture, there has been a dearth of literature examining the adjustment of returning sojourners to their home culture (reentry). In order to further understanding of this phenomenon, this article discusses the reentry process as one type of cultural adjustment. First, reentry is defined and described. Secondly, research investigating the two processes of adjustment to a foreign culture and readjustment to the home culture is reviewed, and the two processes are compared and contrasted. Finally. Suggestions are made concerning future research.
