the Benefits of Studying Abroad

Studying abroad is one of the most exciting experiences a student can have. Not only will they have an incredible adventure travelling to a new destination but theyll be able to submerse themselves in a new culture and learn from the lifestyles of the local community. By involving themselves in a study abroad education, students will be able to add that extra something special to their tertiary education, and whilst doing so will make incredible memories, friends, and develop essential life skills. There are many benefits of studying abroad; below we have compiled a list of reasons why students should join in on this adventure. Education Studying abroad is one of the most educational experiences a student could have. As a university student theyll benefit from new lessons and professors, and as a person theyll constantly be learning the local lifestyle and culture of their new community. For many students, being able to study abroad means that theyll be able to receive a higher calibre education and will able to attend lectures and tutorials given by professors and teachers that may have a broader knowledge and teaching skills than those at home. Travel Being able to travel whilst being a student is a privilege and experience many adults, in hindsight, would love to have enjoyed. The perfect time to travel is when youre young, as youre likely to have limited responsibilities at home and can be away for long periods of time. Many students dream of being able to explore different places and become a part of the community for a while. And although, depending on where you travel, going to study abroad can be an expensive endeavour, a student can be sure that this will be an experience theyll never forget and that will allow them to explore new places and try out new exciting activities. Personal Without a doubt, travelling enables a person to grow in confidence. Although many find travelling alone a nerveracking process, it is one of the best ways to make new friends and become independent. When going to study abroad, students will learn new things about themselves and will learn how to adapt whilst acquiring knowledge about the best ways of dealing with unfamiliar situations. The relationships formed whilst travelling are amongst those which will be cherished for life, and by making friends from different parts of the world, youll be able to learn more about different cultures and lifestyles, as well as how students live and think in different countries. Students will also be able to gain insights and outlooks on other cultures and ways of life, and will be able to play a role in dispelling stereotypes. Theyll also be able to improve their social skills and in some cases will learn what it takes to be in charge of their own accommodation, finances and necessities. One thing that most students do acquire is an appreciation for home and a new perspective on their communities. Study abroad programmes enable students to gain valuable skills and knowledge. Not only will they be able to learn from institutions and professors in other cities, but theyll learn important things about themselves and will grow emotionally and confidently though the experience. If you are a student and want to study abroad to explore a new country and culture, you can be assured that it will be a life-changing experience and a worth-while adventure.

Here are just some of the benefits of studying abroad: Gain new perspective on the world. SIT Study Abroad programs take students through a cultural and academic experience from the inside out. Students explore issues related to globalization, development, poverty, and social inequity from many different perspectives. When they return to the US, students almost always see things differently: They can put themselves in someone elses shoes more easily and have a more nuanced understanding of the world. Increase language skills. Programs typically offer language study at the intermediate and advanced levels and/or beginning instruction in a less commonly taught language spoken by the local community. Courses incorporate formal classroom instruction, discussion, and field exercises designed to enhance student engagement while improving oral and written competence. Select programs are taught all or in part in the target language. By using language skills in daily life, students on our programs discover that they not only can survive but flourish in another country. Note: No formal language instruction is offered for credit on IHP/Comparative programs. Learn research methods and ethics. Students learn appropriate methodologies that prepare them to undertake fieldwork on topics connected to the program theme. Students develop research skills and approaches including: cross-cultural adaptation and skills building; project selection and refinement; contact and resource cultivation; observation and interviewing skills; gathering, organizing, and presenting findings; and maintaining a field journal. Students also examine the ethics and impact of their research on local communities and are required to follow the World Learning/SIT Human Subjects Review Policy, which serves as an approval process and guide for ethical field study practices. Improve, learn, and refine decision-making and problem-solving skills. Students studying abroad find themselves in new situations all the time. When students maneuver through uncharted territory and convey their needs and thoughts using new language and intercultural skills, they gain confidence. These skills are transferable to other aspects of life, both personal and professional. Test your interests. While studying abroad, especially on a field -based program like SIT, students can often take their interests in a more specific, applied direction. For example, they can try field research or clinical work and/or interact with professionals working in fields of interest to them. Make new contacts and form lasting connections. Between academic directors, in -country lecturers, and program staff; other SIT students; homestay families; and program contributors, students form a large network of people during their study abroad experience. Some students may call upon their in-country professional contacts soon after the programs conclusion, perhaps in pursuit of a Fulbright or Watson scholarship; others stay in touch with homestay families for decades; still others form lifelong friendships with their SIT peers. These relationships can be deeply enriching.

List of Books Recommended by CBSE Reading may well be the first discipline that a new student of a language comes into contact with. Seeing the words of a language on a paper will often be the first place people see the language, at least knowingly. It is here, in this discipline, that learners will begin to see how the language is put together to make sense. Reading is all about understanding the written word and therefore it is only natural that once you have been reading for a while you will want to progress to writing. Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in children. Not only is it necessary for survival in the world of schools and (later on) universities, but in adult life as well. The ability to learn about new subjects and find helpful information on anything from health problems and consumer protection to more academic research into science or the arts depends on the ability to read.
