You must log in to view sessions Study Abroad (SA) College & University Education Research-Oriented Short Presentation

This session discusses the changes in beliefs and attitudes toward English as an international language experienced by a group of Japanese university students in a short-term study abroad program in the Philippines. These beliefs and attitudes are framed as “language ideologies” (Surtees 2016), which are belief systems toward language shared by a community in a given circumstance. Data is drawn from interviews conducted before and after a four-week intensive English training course.
