Preparing to Study Abroad

Addresses the challenges of adapting thinking and behaviour as you travel in an unfamiliar environment, of making the most of the opportunities, and of meeting and interacting with locals. The book is designed to help you prepare for your study abroad experience so you can get the most from it, and gain critical intercultural skills while crossing cultures. It offers strategies for learning about and exploring cultural differences and similarities; and advice about how to actively observe and participate in the life of the locality in which you find yourself.
