Assessing Intercultural Competence in Study Abroad Students --$tReferences 330 $aThe internationalisation of higher education has led to study abroad being a large scale phenomenon. Students spend short periods on study tours or a year or more taking courses in foreign universities. Studying aboard cannot be dissociated however from learning to live in another country and culture. The need to adapt to a new education system is obvious but the inevitable difficulties of living in another culture for the purpose of study are also an important facet of the whole experience. Chapters in this book report research into this whole phenomenon. Authors have researched students travelling across the world, from East to West and West to East, and also the effects of studying in countries which seem to be more like students? own. Each chapter explains the case in question, the findings from the research and what the implications might be. The second part of each chapter is then a critical reflection on the research methods used. The book thus provides a guide to the complexity of this kind of research and how that complexity can be handled with appropriate techniques and methods. 410 0$aLanguages for intercultural communication and education ;$v12. 606 $aForeign study 606 $aForeign study$xResearch 606 $aForeign study$xResearch$xMethodology 610 $aeducation. 610 $ahigher education. 610 $aintercultural education. 610 $astudy abroad. 615 0$aForeign study. 615 0$aForeign study$xResearch. 615 0$aForeign study$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a370.116 701 $aByram$b Michael$0480603 701 $aFeng$b Anwei$f1954-$01543566 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784012103321 996 $aLiving and studying abroad$93797093 997 $aUNINA
