Heidi Soneson Affiliate, Gateway International Group, United States Martin Tillman President, Global Career Compass, United States ABSTRACT Two international education veterans reflect on changes in the field of education abroad and student learning over the past forty years. The first perspective examines how the narrative supporting education abroad has shifted from its instrumental value to higher education institutions, focusing instead on student learning outcomes and employability. The second perspective traces a path within institutions of higher education. These two perspectives provide complementary views on how institutions and professionals have adapted to domestic and global challenges and successfully re-aligned the goals of education abroad programs to meet new student needs and academic priorities.

Study abroad is now both an international industry and an experience that can have a deep impact on students' attitudes and approaches to second language learning. Narratives of Second Language Identity in Study Abroad brings together three important research areas by exploring the impact of study abroad on second language identities through narrative research. It outlines a new model of second language identity that incorporates a range of language and personal competencies. The three main dimensions of this model are explored in chapters that begin with students' study abroad narratives, followed by the authors' in-depth analysis. Further chapters use narratives to assess the impact of programme type and individual difference. Arguing that second language identity development is one of the more important outcomes of study abroad, the book concludes with recommendations on how study abroad programmes can best achieve this outcome.

Participation in study abroad programs has more than tripled over the last quarter century. As more college students opt to study cross culturally, understanding this impact on student development is relevant. Disorientation through culture shock is a recognized common experience in study abroad programs; however, limited research is available on what perspective transformations emerge for students through this process. The purpose of this narrative study was to explore the perspective changes that may have occurred in the lives of Council of Christian Colleges and Universities students through their participation in the Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Studies. This study explored the experiences of eight alumni from Azusa Pacific University, who studied abroad through the Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Studies (OPUS) between 2011-2015. The following research questions that guided this study were: What stories do participants share about their lived experiences during the Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Studies (OPUS) study abroad semester, and their transition home? How do the participants' stories reflect disorientation from their study abroad experiences and their transitions home? How do these study abroad experiences affect participant perceptions of personal identity, spirituality, and academic pursuits? Data was gathered through interviews, researcher observations and artifacts, and analyzed for codes and themes. The study's findings revealed that self-realization occurred for participants through experiences of daily exploration, intellectual pursuit, and in the context of community. Furthermore, the results indicated that: the Oxford tutorial system promoted a process of transformative learning; the OPUS semester structure fostered identity development, leading to expressed confidence and a sense of belonging; spiritual development is a holistic and integrative process, and; the transition back to campus from Oxford was more difficult than the transition abroad. Recommendations include supporting students with a seminar during the semester following their return, and connection to faculty within their major for extended learning opportunities.

"This project used digital stories as a medium for critical reflection during re-entry from a study abroad semester. The project provided three undergraduate students at Westminster College the resources, guidance, and support to reflect on their study abroad experience via the creation of digital stories. Research asserts that reflection during study abroad re-entry is critical to ensuring learning outcomes and this project demonstrates that returnees have a strong desire to reflect on their study abroad experiences. It also demonstrates that using digital stories as a medium for reflection is beneficial because returnees are able to use photographs and their own voice to talk about their experiences. Finally, this project suggests that critical reflection during re-entry would be more effective if incorporated into a designated course."--author's abstract.

How teachers may be better educated for a changing global world is a challenge that faces many systems of education worldwide. This book addresses key issues of quality and change in teacher education in the context of the new public management achievement agendas which are permeating teacher education structures, cultures and programmes and the work of teacher educators internationally. Graduate schools of education in the United States and the UK, for example, are making fundamental changes in the structures, courses, programs and faculties that prepare beginning teachers each year. Drawing upon examples from the United States, United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Australia and elsewhere, its authors provide a unique critical overview of emerging themes and challenges of raising the quality of teaching and the quality of student learning outcomes. They suggest possible ways forward for teachers, teacher educators, researchers and policy-makers as they seek to raise the quality of teaching and student outcomes whilst sustaining their moral purposes and values of equity, inclusion and social justice. Taken together, the chapters contain informed, critical discussions of “normal education” and “teacher education” of “professional standards”, “4+2/+1” post-degree training, “PGDE versus BEd”, integration of subject specializations and professional education. Each one provides new visions of the teacher as a professional and to cultivate high quality teachers in the West and the Greater China region. For all those interested in issues of quality, change and forward movement in teacher education in contexts of policy led reform, this is a must read.

This book examines how the unique perspectives of BIPOC faculty and students must be integrated into the undergraduate curriculum to expose students of color to education abroad experiences, enhance cultural awareness and sensitivity, and lend to a broader diversity and inclusion perspective. This edited volume, written by authors of color, argues that education abroad programs not only provide essential academic and cultural enrichment but can also be an important nexus of innovation. When approached within a creative, interdisciplinary, and holistic framework, these programs are ripe with opportunities to engage various constituencies and a potent source of strategies for bolstering diversity, recruitment, retention, and graduation. Despite a tendency to view study abroad as a luxurious option for persons with wealth and means, the editors and their authors argue that global education should be thought of as a fundamental and integral part of higher education, for all students, in a global era.

By exploring the experiences of pre- and in-service teachers, as well as the design and implementation of study abroad programs developed specifically for them, this volume highlights the potential of international learning in promoting teachers’ global and critical understandings of their roles as educators in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. Recognizing teacher study abroad as a unique strand within the wider foreign education literature, Study Abroad for Pre- and In-Service Teachers emphasizes how it can be conceptualized, theorized, and implemented as part of initial and continuing teacher training. Chapters consider study abroad programs and teaching practices in Europe, Asia, the Americas, and in Indigenous communities, and document the transformative learning experiences which impact the way teachers think about learning, teaching, and identity. Together, the chapters foreground the personal and professional advantages of teacher study abroad and provide key insights to inform design and programming for sustainable, impactful teacher study abroad which supports teachers in building intercultural competence and enhances their capacity to serve students of varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds. This volume will appeal to researchers, scholars, education abroad facilitators, and teacher educators with an interest in international mobility, multicultural education, culturally responsive pedagogy and study abroad. In addition, pre- and in-service teachers will find the book of value.

Living and studying away from home can turn out to be an enriching and rewarding experience for many international students. Yet, many of them struggle to cope with their new university life due to distinct challenges such as cultural differences, language and communication barriers, and a lack of social support. Through a diverse collection of personal essays, this book captures some of the stories of international students as they reflect on their intercultural encounters, expectations, and experiences in their new surroundings and local communities. Essay themes range from culture shock to resilience, and they cover a variety of topics including the ways students change and gain new perspectives by being away from their comfort zone, the feeling of isolation and being an outsider, and the uncertainties of making new friends. This book provides readers with a unique opportunity to walk a mile in the shoes of an international student. It also highlights the importance of a strong support system for students in both the curricular and co-curricular settings and offers insights to international educators and university administrators into creating a welcoming environment that fosters international understanding and cross-cultural awareness on campus.
