| Research Abstract |
This study made an assessment of an academic-year-abroad program for university students from the perspectives of English education, social psychology and communication studies. Using a pre-post test design, it was revealed that students improved in their English competency as assessed by standardized tests, became more open vis-a-vis intercultural partners, and enhanced international awareness. They also made significant growth in self efficacy and social skills as assessed by psychological scales. Student voices as well as an evaluation of a featured program in the Philippines are presented.
