Forming A Global Citizen: Personal Development Through Study Abroad, Anna L. Reiter
Honors Thesis
This literature review examines key benefits of studying abroad, while investigating which elements most contribute to students’ overall success. Current literature suggests that benefits of studying abroad include, but are not limited to, second language acquisition (SLA), identity formation, and intercultural competence.
