Using Deardorff’s (2009) model of intercultural competence (IC), this study explores how a group of recently graduated\u0000 Canadian foreign language teachers benefitted from a four-month international teaching experience (ITE). The following questions\u0000 guided this investigation: In which ways did the ITE contribute to the participants’ IC development? How did the ITE affect the\u0000 participants’ professional identity and sense of legitimacy? Data were collected, triangulated, and interpreted using thematic\u0000 content data analysis. This study provides illustrations of the participants’ IC development across all components on Deardorff’s\u0000 IC model, showing that properly scaffolded ITEs afforded the participants opportunities to develop their IC. The findings also\u0000 show that the ITE of living and teaching abroad positively impacted their professional identity and feeling of legitimacy.","PeriodicalId":36825,"journal":{"name":"Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44200055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
