“…This longitudinal study is striking in that it reviews over fifty years of participation in study abroad, gathering data from more than 6,000 former students. The results, however, are validated in other recent studies that are similar in focus, but much smaller in scope (Rowan-Kenyon, Niehaus, 2011;Perry, Stoner and Tarrant, 2012;Llanes, Muñoz, 2009;Lumkes, Hallett and Vallade, 2012).…”

La participación en estudios a corto plazo en el extranjero se ha incrementado exponencialmente en los Estados Unidos, eclipsando el semestre tradicional o año académico en el extranjero que se programaba en décadas anteriores. Aunque criticado y rechazado por muchos profesores de idiomas y proveedores de estudios en el extranjero, está apareciendo un creciente corpus de investigación en defensa de los programas a corto plazo. El presente estudio de caso examina las ganancias cuantitativas en las orientaciones culturales, buscando determinar el mejor momento para evaluar las ganancias a su regreso al país de origen. Estos resultados, a su vez, aportarán información en el futuro para la planificación de los estudios a corto plazo en el extranjero. Palabras clave: estudiar en el extranjero, estudio a corto plazo en el exterior, orientación cultural, fluidez del lenguaje Resum La participació en estudis a curt termini en l'estranger s'ha incrementat exponencialment als Estats Units, eclipsant el semestre tradicional o any acadèmic en l'estranger que es programava en dècades anteriors.

“…Shorter IEs may not produce the desired cultural outcomes to the same degree as longer IEs. However, short-term programs do produce gains in some aspects of cultural competence and should be offered (Anderson et al, 2006;Chieffo & Griffiths, 2004;Mapp, 2012;Rowan-Kenyon & Niehaus, 2011).…”

Historically, education abroad has been designed to provide students a full immersion experience by way of semester or year-long study at a foreign university. However, this traditional format has been redefined to include a variety of non-traditional international experiences, such as international service learning projects, internships, and short-term international experiences. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to develop a deep understanding of the lived experiences of agricultural education undergraduate students participating in a short-term international experience. The overarching question that guided the study was: What were the lived experiences of agricultural education undergraduate students during a short-term international experience? As a result of the short-term international experience, students did not progress fully through all levels of development needed to be considered proficient in cultural competence. However, students demonstrated significant gains in cultural awareness and some gains in cultural understanding and cultural sensitivity. Finally, participating students verified some progress toward building cultural communication competencies as a result of their experience.

“…The second opportunity area to globalize career services is to expand the availability of international internships. Prior research on international student immersion programs found that these experiences, even ones as short as 10 days, can influence students’ future career choices (Jones, Rowan‐Kenyon, Ireland, Niehaus, & Skendall, ; Rowan‐Kenyon & Niehaus, ), and including an internship in such experiences can help to clarify career path/goals, improve understanding of social justice and globalization issues, and provide opportunities for learning and personal growth (Benedict‐Augustin, ; Evanson & Zust, ). Students can build their global portfolio and work toward matching with a global career placement by acquiring an international internship.…”
