Language Learning During Study Abroad: What We Know and What We Have Yet to Lear
Keywords
language learning, study abroad, cultural knowledge
Abstract
It has often been said that in order to develop advanced skills in a foreign language, one must go abroad. Language teachers see their students go abroad and return to report feeling that they have made substantial gains in both language abilities and cultural knowledge. These gains are usu- ally evident to the teacher. Yet in spite of these experiences, teachers are seldom able to pinpoint exactly what it is that students gain during study abroad.
