Students’ Study Abroad Experiences: Gaijin in Japan

Abstract

As markets have become more global, educational training in America needs to follow. Educational institutions responses to the demand for more global education have ranged from increasing the global coverage in courses to offering overseass’ study experiences. This study explored the nature and content of cultural training programs provided to American students studying abroad. Results obtained from a sample of American students studying in Japan suggested that most cultural orientation programs fall short of addressing critical orientation issues. Implications and recommendations for improving study-abroad orientation programs are provided.
