Description
This forum brings together four presentations exploring innovative and practical approaches to study abroad across pre-, during-, and post-mobility stages. Contributions include a cost-effective volunteer-based model, a task sequence promoting authentic linguistic engagement, reflective journaling to address pre-departure anxiety, and a study of learner autonomy in program evaluation. Together, these examples demonstrate how rethinking traditional models can enhance accessibility, deepen student engagement, and support meaningful learning outcomes in international education.
