What effects do overseas high school trips have on students’ interest in speaking English, confidence, and listening ability? How does a homestay play into that? This study will discuss and analyze findings that came out of quantitative and qualitative research on one school’s 2-week trip to California, involving a total of 277 students. Implications for our own classroom teaching will also be touched on, particularly with regard to reluctant EFL speakers.
