Abstract

My project is part of a larger, college-wide study that is seeking to quantify the progress students make in acquiring the German language while on study abroad, specifically in the areas of vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, writing composition, and language comprehension. My own research attempts to determine if language immersion in a study abroad setting better enhances vocabulary learning than in Foreign Language Student Resident or classroom settings.
