Measuring Linguistic Gains in Immersion Settings: Empirical Studies from Fren...
Study abroad provides students with a unique opportunity to develop foreign language skills alongside native speakers. Or does it? This panel will look at different assessment methods and tools used to measure student linguistic gains after a semester studying abroad in France, Spain, and Argentina. Special emphasis will be placed on “high-impact” practices that contribute to positive gains in language learning during study abroad experiences including homestays, direct enrollment, and community engagement.
Two Unlikely Characters: Can Education Abroad and Tourism Mix?
Does tourism nullify the academic component of education abroad? Join a scholarly discussion on how students’ tourist behaviors can be used to enhance course content and cultural development. The session will be driven by exploratory research of a multiphase project that explores students’ academic and travel expectations and motivations as inputs into an education abroad program based on Alexander Astin’s Inputs Environment and Outputs (IEO) model and John Dewey’s concept of play and work in curriculum.
Establishing a Research Agenda for U.S. Education Abroad - Worksheet
This session begins with a brief overview of the major trends in contemporary education-abroad research and an assessment of the major methodological and design challenges. We'll briefly look at the major theoretical models that traditionally have informed education-abroad research and conceptual frameworks from related disciplines that may further extend this research. Commonly used instruments are discussed in the context of measuring outcomes. Notable gaps in existing research and needed directions will be discussed. This session will be particularly relevant for both U.S.- and internationally based educators interested in establishing a research agenda for U.S. education abroad.

Demand for international experiences that enhance employability is higher than ever. Universities feel the pressure from students, alumni, government, parents, and employers. However, the link between global internships and academic coursework is at best underutilized and at worst a barrier. This session will review general concepts and context regarding global internships and provide two academic internship frameworks that can be used to develop or describe program models. Presenters will share case studies and specific examples that demonstrate program models and components linking global internships to academic coursework.
Expanding the Freshman Experience
CIEE and Johnson and Wales University have collaborated for the past two years to develop a freshman study abroad program called "Expanding the Freshman Experience." This session will focus on how they created best practices related to transitioning from the more traditional faculty-led program to a collaborative, non-faculty-led program that serves an underrepresented population. Attendees will learn how to design a program that meets the unique needs of freshman students and encourage them to safely leave their comfort zone. Special consideration during this session is given to the developmental phase of emerging adulthood in the design of program components, overall tone, and expectations.
Tethered Abroad: Technology and Communication with Home During Study Abroad
Technology has transformed the very nature of study abroad. While abroad, students now stay closely connected to their friends and parents at home. This session will explore how digital technology and students' connectedness with family and friends at home are affecting study abroad experiences and whether digital technology is always an impediment to personal and intercultural growth abroad or could actually help enhance student development. We'll present findings from our research, which explores the connection between students' technological contacts with family and friends and variables such as autonomy, self-regulation, and cultural learning. We'll then discuss how digital technology might be harnessed to help students engage more deeply in their study abroad experiences.
Reinventing Wellness: What to Include in a Wellness Orientation
This session will focus on the development of wellness practices that strengthen staff, faculty, and student learning. Janice Abarbanel will expand on her idea of an "emotional passport," a dynamic skill set that can be learned and practiced as one prepares for shifting and settling into new cultures. Cynthia Mitchell will address issues of visibility and invisibility as students from different racial and cultural backgrounds negotiate the ways they're perceived in new environments. Participants will learn strategies to support students' emotional engagement, to enhance curiosity, and to help students recognize their accomplishments as they learn abroad.
Is Western Europe Even Relevant Anymore?”
Is western Europe still relevant as a destination for research, study, and internships, or have American institutions turned their global focus elsewhere? This session will feature participants from three very different institutions: A large, private research university; a small, undergraduate liberal arts college; and a small satellite campus in Europe of a large, public research university. We'll present academic research and statistics from the field in general, and three case studies showcasing how western Europe is currently "faring" in institutional global strategies. Attendees will be invited to share their strategies and engagement with the region as well.
Who is Not Studying Abroad? An Examination of Three Institutional Perspective...
To understand how to expand education abroad opportunities, we need to understand who is not going abroad. Presenters will share what they've done (or are doing) to expand participation with respect to the barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture. Participants will be invited to share best practices on how to change perception and make study abroad – academic study, work, or internships – more accessible. Case studies will include the Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) Haiti Initiative, an innovative student-directed program; Susquehanna University, which made study away a curricular requirement; and Medgar Evers College, the only Predominantly Black College (PBI) in the City University of New York, will explain how a one-person office has increased the numbers of underrepresented students going abroad.
The Psychology of Scholarships: Lessening the Barriers for Students and Revie...
Finances are a massive barrier to studying abroad, yet many students don’t apply for scholarships. What are the barriers to applying? Do your scholarships encourage participation, and how does the timing of scholarship deadlines/notifications impact choices to go abroad? What can generate higher-quality essays, and how do you reduce reviewer bias? This interactive panel discussion will explore how the University of Minnesota, IFSA-Butler, and CIEE are tackling these important questions. Participants will leave with tools and resources to improve their own scholarships and review processes, and to decrease barriers to scholarships.
Shaping and Shifting Cultural Perceptions of Disability Abroad
People with disabilities studying abroad can expect to encounter cultural attitudes that vary from country to country. In what ways can travelers with disabilities plan for, adjust to, and even shape attitudes? How might international exchange professionals help move attitudes toward the positive through longstanding relationships with overseas partners? This session will showcase CIEE alumni with disabilities and resident directors (RD) from recent programs with a focus on cultural differences related to disability that may impact the attitudes of the host community, exchange staff, and students with disabilities.
Intercultural Learning from the Inside Out: Supporting Faculty, Staff, and St...
This document discusses intercultural learning from the perspective of faculty, staff, and students. It outlines research showing that the intercultural development of faculty and staff directly impacts their ability to facilitate intercultural learning for students. Programs are described that provide training and coaching for instructors to develop interculturally and help students develop skills like cultural self-awareness and cultural bridging. The document also discusses how intercultural training can benefit staff professional development and help organizations build inclusive environments.
Immediacy, Engagement, and Immersion: Critical Pedagogy and the Study Abroad ...
Intentional, critically informed pedagogies are a means of developing and shaping the kinds of transformative experiences students should have. While much of the work in the field of international education emphasizes formal assessments, we’ll focus on critical pedagogy and how to best shape experiences that promote experiential learning, immediacy, engagement, and immersion that is both self-reflexive and respectful. We’ll consider approaches and methodologies that can be used for specific study abroad programs and the ways in which an ethos of deeply intercultural and experiential learning can inform campus and curriculum internationalization efforts.

The goal is for residence assistants to make their halls a welcoming place for international residents.
Theory to Practice: Education Abroad
As a part of my College Student Development class we were to pick a topic and come up with a theory guided program or policy. I decided to challenge myself with a topic I did not know much about: Education Abroad.
Methods of attracting international students
This document provides guidance on attracting international students and internationalizing a university. It recommends developing an at-home internationalization strategy through increased instruction in English, cultural competency training, attracting more international faculty and students, and innovative uses of technology for international collaboration. A key part of the strategy is creating an international student handbook that addresses student concerns and highlights what makes the university unique from the student's perspective. Conducting research with current international students is also advised to understand why they chose the university. The document concludes with considerations for sending local students abroad to US universities.
Advisers as Advocates for Study Abroad
This document discusses the importance of advisors advocating for study abroad programs and helping students integrate their international experiences. It argues that advisors should see education abroad not as an isolated experience but as an integral part of students' overall academic curriculum. The document provides an overview of different study abroad program types and structures. It also presents data on typical study abroad student demographics and considers factors that influence students' decisions to study abroad. Overall, the document emphasizes the role of advisors and institutions in helping students synthesize their international experiences and connect them back meaningfully to their academic and career goals.
Study Abroad Counsellors
Study Abroad Counsellors are an important part of the study abroad process. They help students with their application process, they make sure that students have everything they need to succeed, and they help them find a suitable program that suits their needs.
Study Abroad Counsellors are responsible for a lot of things. They must be able to handle all kinds of problems including scheduling, budgeting, and even visa issues. There is also a lot of paperwork involved in the process which can be tedious and time-consuming.
A study abroad counsellor can also help with the social aspect of studying abroad - from making friends to finding local activities and events happening around you.

ACICS Effective International Student Programs 5-7-16
This presentation covers effective strategies for international student programs. It discusses understanding the international student population and ensuring infrastructure for their support from recruitment through graduation. Common issues schools face include extensive paperwork, language barriers, and lack of integration opportunities. Solutions involve streamlining processes, dedicated staff, language tutoring, and events for cultural integration. International students are in high demand due to benefits like diversity and economic impact. While requiring time and compliance, retaining international students is more cost effective than continual recruitment.
Developing a US College List 2014
This document provides guidance on developing a college list by reflecting on priorities and interests in academics, student life, and finances. It emphasizes self-reflection on learning style, activities, social interests and geographic preferences. Key factors to consider include academic reputation and strength of major, student culture and diversity, financial aid and cost.

Before They Even Get Here: Cross-Campus Collaboration on a New Pre-Freshman S...
This document summarizes the creation of a pre-freshman study abroad program to London. It describes assessing incoming students' academic skills and fears. Students took two courses in London on critical thinking and the city, and one on academic success. The program aimed to get students abroad and prepare them academically. Challenges included coordinating across departments and addressing unexpected issues abroad. Outcomes were positive overall, though the creator plans changes like meeting more and adding service learning. The program provides a model for engaging freshmen in study abroad early.
It Takes a Village: Building a Support System for Diversity Abroad
Racial/ethnic diversity in study abroad increased 10 percent from 2004 to 2014. Despite the increase, study abroad continues to fall low on students of color’s priority list. Irrespective of their rationale for not going, students of color continue to receive fewer messages that study abroad is worthwhile. To fill this gap, panelists in this session will argue that faculty involvement – particularly faculty of color– in the planning process and while on-site is imperative. The inclusion will allow students to see themselves reflected in study abroad programs and may increase the likelihood that students will participate. This session will feature multiple perspectives to demonstrate the important ways to utilize faculty in the effort to increase student of color participation.
Intercultural Faculty Training for the Development of Innovative Global Initi...
During this session, we'll explore resources and frameworks that allow participants to identify the specific needs of their home campuses in relation to implementing intercultural and diversity initiatives. Intercultural competence has an impact on educators' daily duties and projects, allowing them to bridge the cultural differences present on campuses and in education abroad programs. This type of competence helps to develop innovative initiatives and to align with global learning outcomes and goals. Furthermore, intercultural competence fosters reflection and creativity with the aim of developing thoughtful and distinctive new projects. Panelists will present models for intercultural training, lead discussions on best practices in this area, examine projects developed as a result of intercultural training, and review intercultural tools that can help when implementing new programs.
Know Your Audience: Using Pre-existing Norms to Overcome Curricular and Cultu...
Understanding the target market of a study abroad program can help educators overcome cultural and curricular barriers to studying abroad. Partnerships between study abroad offices and faculty members can be instrumental in breaking down these barriers for business students. During this session, we'll combine the panelists’ experiences with original research to attempt to illuminate themes, including the disconnect between emerging markets and student study abroad choices, apathy toward language acquisition, perceptions of study abroad, and developing a culture of studying abroad. Participants are encouraged to bring their own success and challenges in order to create generalizable program design and outreach philosophies.
Opening More Doors: Keys to Successful Faculty-Led Study Abroad for Graduate ...
This session will provide a model for building a successful graduate-level study abroad program, give session participants the tools to build a viable, sustainable study abroad program for graduate students, and aid and inspire session participants to do so. Panelists include three colleagues who have collaborated to build successful credit-bearing graduate-level study abroad programs, as well as a non-traditional student who participated in a study abroad program. During this session, we'll cover budgeting, recruitment, course credits, course delivery, program activities, coursework, logistics, accommodating non-traditional students, faculty pay and course load, and program assessment and sustainability.
Breakfast Presentation
Our breakfast program recaps a year’s worth of Academic Consortium Board (ACB) activity. Topics include steps ACB institutions are taking to partner with faculty to expand global education, updates on the CIEE Generation Study Abroad pledge, thanking departing board members, and welcoming our new ones. We also highlight our study centers in Perth, Khon Kaen, and Budapest as they celebrate their 25th anniversaries.
Education Goes International: Partnering Abroad to Build Teacher Education Pr...
During this session, the panelists will offer their unique perspectives on the obstacles and mediation necessary to develop a culturally responsive teacher education program abroad that positively impacts U.S. teacher candidates as well as Italian teachers and their primary students. Using examples from their experience developing a teacher education program with EFL teaching field experience, the panelists will lead participants in discussions focused on addressing the curriculum needs of students and U.S. institutions, the community needs of the host culture, and the strategies necessary to work effectively with the host. Dialogue with participants will be framed around approaches for curriculum alignment and for developing and maintaining mutually beneficial community partnerships.
Designing and Delivering Globally Connected Domestic Programs
Come learn how your institution can develop and implement exciting globally connected domestic programs for your students. Featuring faculty and administrator panelists from Elon University and Duke University, this session will showcase their respective programs in Los Angeles that offer innovative coursework on current issues combined with valuable pre-professional opportunities, such as credit-bearing internships, thus using the host city as a "learning laboratory." The faculty directors of Elon and Duke’s programs in LA will describe how they introduce students to the film and entertainment industries with help from their alumni networks. Other general topics in this session include leveraging university support for domestic programs and preparing students for a domestic academic experience.
Using Giving Games to Develop International and Intercultural Critical Thinki...
Giving games are classroom activities where students are given a preset amount of money to donate to charitable organizations. Through discussion and debate, students evaluate various pre-selected organizations and vote on where to allocate the funds. These games aim to develop students' critical thinking about philanthropic giving by having them consider factors like organizational effectiveness, transparency, and alignment with personal values. Several University of Alaska Anchorage courses use giving games, finding they increase student engagement with issues of community problem-solving, global development, and careers in philanthropy. Student feedback indicates the activities provide an eye-opening learning experience that influences students' views on citizenship and effective altruism.
The Evolution of Study Abroad Programs to Achieve Greater Student Diversity
There is a growing trend in education abroad to attract a greater number and diversity of students by focusing on making education abroad of interest to traditionally underrepresented groups. During this session, we'll look at examples of programs and university-based efforts to examine what commonalities can be replicated and what lessons can be learned in new accessible program models. Focus is placed on how the panelists have used on-campus collaborations and adjusted for programmatic, language, and environmental conditions in the host community to create an experience that facilitates learning and inclusion for an increased diversity of participants.
Customizing and Funding Professional Development to Internationalize the Curr...
For the past two years, CIEE and Union College have collaborated to run International Faculty Development Seminars in Beijing, China, and Istanbul, Turkey, assisting Union in their efforts to internationalize their common curriculum. During this session, we'll outline how Union applied for and won a grant from the Mellon Foundation, approached CIEE for assistance with the design and execution of the programs, and ultimately, how the first of the two programs has changed and will continue to change the common curriculum at Union. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how international professional development opportunities can help internationalize curriculum on their own campuses.
Outside of Our Comfort Zones: Faculty Identity and Pedagogy in the Global Cla...
Like the intrepid students who study somewhere other than their home countries, faculty should challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zones. During this session, you'll learn how to define your identity as a global teacher and how to experiment with pedagogies that facilitate learning for a variety of students. Panelists will share highlights from a workshop they co-facilitated in the Czech Republic for teachers from across Europe who work with U.S. study abroad students. In addition, they'll lead participants in a discussion about experiences teaching abroad or instructing diverse learners on home campuses, as well as an interactive teaching exercise.
Moving Beyond the Single-Discipline Faculty-Led Model: How Can Music Business...
How did an English professor, a social work professor, and a communications professor come together at Belmont University to build a high-quality academic program in Sweden? Join us as we explore innovative approaches to faculty-led programs. Faculty and study abroad staff will share best practices, discuss the success of their own initiatives, and cover the potential challenges of organizing programs that support students from different backgrounds. You'll leave the session energized to use the tools provided to create your own successful cross-disciplinary faculty-led program.
Getting Real with Diversity Outreach: A Practical Toolkit for Promoting Study...
Reaching underrepresented student populations in education abroad is something most universities strive for, but can find difficult to execute in practice. During this session, presenters – who represent the 11th most ethnically diverse university in the U.S. – will help you identify new and creative outlets for outreach to underrepresented populations at your institution. We'll also explore how to foster connections with key departments and identify study abroad program types that draw diverse student participants in the hopes of empowering underrepresented students to overcome actual and perceived barriers to study abroad.
Facilitating Mobility for Engineering Majors: Successful Partnerships between...
Learn best practices for how your institution should work internally to recruit, advise, approve courses, and award credits, all of which are critical components for implementing successful study abroad programs for engineering students. We'll also highlight the importance of collaboration between faculty and study abroad advising offices and will illustrate how this collaboration can lead to additional opportunities for universities.
Developing Global Citizens: Increasing Faculty Engagement in Intercultural Le...
This document discusses developing global citizens through increasing faculty engagement in intercultural learning. It begins by outlining the learning outcomes, which are to gain new perspectives on global citizenship, increase awareness of challenges and opportunities in faculty engagement, and generate ideas for engagement. Next, the basics of global citizenship are explored, defining a global citizen as someone who can work effectively cross-culturally. Several common misconceptions about cultural differences are also addressed. The rest of the document focuses on case studies of assessing intercultural competence and a successful program at Purdue University for faculty development in this area. Tables are then instructed to discuss challenges to faculty engagement and brainstorm solutions.
Between a Religious Rock and a Hard Study Abroad Place: Supporting Students o...
Religion can be a sensitive topic in study abroad when working with students and advisors from different cultures. During this session, you'll learn how to best support students to practice their religions abroad and to help them manage how they will be perceived in different cultures. Participants will also gain an understanding of faculty-led program design and the importance of sensitivity to students and faith systems. Finally, we'll identify advising models that can help students explore their value systems and empower their sense of faith by looking at host cultures, including Ghana, Italy, Japan, and Spain.
In With the Locals: Why On-Site Connection Matters
How do we break the third wall between study abroad group bubble voyeurism to allow for meaningful, authentic engagement abroad? During this session, we'll investigate the implications of involving local parties in faculty-led study abroad, particularly for pointedly focused curriculum in non-traditional areas of study. Faculty, student, and provider perspectives speak to experiences of international collaboration, challenges and successes, and how to utilize local networks to coordinate a meaningful and engaging experience abroad. Additionally, faculty and resident staff will reflect specifically on seeking out relevant and timely contacts and experiences and will provide personal examples of how to position a program experience and curriculum to facilitate growth.
Washington Update
Following a tumultuous campaign season, Americans will have elected a new president and Congress just a week before the CIEE Annual Conference. Where does the new president stand on privately funded exchange programs? What does the new composition of Congress mean for the budget process? What about immigration issues? How might exchanges fare? Who are the most likely people to run the critical congressional committees? What about the impact of the presidential campaign on public perception? Come learn about these issues and what the international exchange community can do to promote greater understanding and support of its programs.
Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...
How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.
