Maximizing Study Abroad: A Students' Guide to Strategies for Language and
Culture Learning and Use
By R. Michael Paige, Andrew D. Cohen, Barbara Kappler, and Julie C. Chi
Aimed at students who want to make the most of their study abroad experience,
this flexible and user-friendly guide helps students identify and use a wide
variety of language- and culture-learning strategies. The guide begins with
three inventories designed to help students be more aware of how they currently
learn language and culture. The following sections provide students with tools
and creative activities they can use to enhance their favored learning strategies
and try out unfamiliar ones. Students can use this guide as they prepare for
study abroad, during their experience, and once they return to maximize their
experience.
