Influence of Students’ Interactions Abroad on Developing Intercultural Competence
ABSTRACT Study-abroad programs represent one of the initiatives implemented by universities to internationalize curricula and prepare students to perform in a globalized society. The purpose of this research was to evaluate how intercultural interactions influence the development of intercultural competence. Results from a sample of 158 students indicate that students’ intercultural contacts have a significant positive effect on their change in intercultural competence, which is calculated as the difference between the measures before and after going abroad (b = .236; s.e. = .104; β = .289; p < .05). These findings confirm that mere exposure to foreign environments does not automatically result in effective learning; thus, universities should set conditions to facilitate active engagement between visiting students and national hosts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Teaching in International Business instructs international business educators, curriculum developers, and institutions of higher education worldwide on methods and techniques for better teaching to ensure optimum, cost-effective learning on the part of students of international business. It is generally assumed that the teaching of international business is universal, but that the application of teaching methods, processes, and techniques in varying socioeconomic and cultural environments is unique. The journal offers insights and perspectives to international business educators and practitioners to share concerns, problems, opportunities, and solutions to the teaching and learning of international business subjects.
