When I go abroad I really want
To learn how my major/minor field is practiced
in a different
country
To increase my language proficiency
(or learn a new language)
I want to study abroad
For at least a semester
For less than a semester
While abroad, I would
Feel comfortable taking most of my classes
in another language
Only feel comfortable taking classes in English
While overseas, I would like to take classes with all
local students
False
True
I think taking language classes is
An essential part of studying abroad
Is not that important
The idea of going abroad for four months
Seems a bit unsettling
Sounds great!Sign me up!
I am confident enough in my foreign language skills to
Have a conversation in another language
Say "hello" in another language
While I am abroad, I want
The comfort of being around other Americans
The challenge of exploring the culture
While I am abroad, I would prefer to
Focus strictly on fulfilling major requirements
Stray away from my major courses and really
explore the culture of my host
country
My major
Is highly structured and sequential
Is pretty flexible in terms of what classes I have
to take and when I have
to take them |
I would like to
To primarily speak English while overseas
To perfect my foreign language skills
While abroad, taking classes with local students
Would be a great way for me to learn about the
culture of the
country
Is not that important for me
Learning the language of my host country is my primary
motivation for wanting to go abroad
True
False
Studying abroad is something I would consider doing
During the academic year
During Maymester or the summer
I can read a newspaper
Only in English
In a language other than English
I would like my classes to be taught by
American professors that are abroad
Local professors from my host country
I am majoring or minoring in a foreign language
False
True
I would consider a four-week summer program
To be a great way to study abroad
To be too short for my study abroad experience
Being in an environment where English is not spoken
Sounds like an adventure!
Would make it very difficult for me to get around
Living with a host family
Is not something I want to do
Is very appealing to me
