Abstract
-
As a student with former study abroad experience I can appreciate some of the many positives and negatives to learning another language through study abroad. In my opinion, studying abroad is one of the best ways to learn a second language because it immerses the learner in the language and surrounds them with lots of native speakers who can help with learning the language quickly and effectively. Language acquisition, host families, and active communication in a second language are all directly related to studying abroad and will all be examined through a variety of sources and studies. Language acquisition shows the academic advantages a person has gained from studying abroad because it indicates the capacity the person has to perceive and comprehend the language. In this experiential learning project, I will focus on my own experience studying abroad, comparing it with research from experts in the field. Studying abroad has such a large impact on language acquisition because the student is immersed in the language and culture, and because of that is able to experience benefits that will be highlighted through my own study abroad experience.
