商品簡介
This guide to studying abroad is aimed at students who need to move beyond language and cultural barriers in order to extract a more meaningful and instructive experience. Jackson (English, Chinese U. of Hong Kong) stresses that students need to make an effort to learn the language and customs of a foreign country before crossing borders, noting that this strategy will increase a sense of self as well as more comfort in social settings. The author discusses a variety of study plans that are customized to students' objectives, whether it be exposure to another culture or to learn skills that will be utilized in a global market.
