Welcome to the JALT Study Abroad Special Interest Group (SIG). We are dedicated to fostering a comprehensive network of faculty, staff, and students engaged in international education. Our group focuses on the exchange of ideas and best practices for planning, implementing, and evaluating various study abroad programs.
Our activities span a wide range of study abroad experiences, including inbound and outbound programs, one-way study experiences, exchanges, internships, and cultural immersion initiatives. The Study Abroad SIG serves as a resource for those in the academic community seeking to deepen their understanding and enhance their practice in the field of international education.โโ
Within our network, members engage in a dynamic exchange of both practical information and research related to study abroad. This collaborative environment not only supports the development and dissemination of academic papers and presentations but also facilitates the sharing of real-world insights and strategies for enhancing study abroad programs. Our focus is on practical application as much as it is on theoretical exploration, ensuring that our community remains at the forefront of best practices in international education.
