Implementation of international experiences for students has increased. Anecdotal evidence suggests that these experiences enhance the quality of students upon graduation. However, a synthesis of literature related to the benefits of international experiences was lacking. We rooted the study’s conceptual framework in the concept of high-impact activities/experiences and related inputs, processes, and outcomes with a focus on the benefits of student participation in an international experience. Our purpose was to establish a benchmark documenting research conducted related to the benefits of an international experience and to identify research gaps. The rigorous literature review process identified 108 articles published across 55 unique publications for inclusion. Documentation of benefits was grouped into four categories: personal growth, international knowledge, cultural awareness, and additional skills. Further, the literature revealed a litany of reasons that students chose not to participate and a wide range of guidance for program planning. We conclude that research has documented specific benefits of students’ participation in international experiences; however, many of these studies are based on data collected immediately following the experience rather than longitudinal data. Our research synthesis provides a summary of benefits and program strategies for utilization by researchers in planning future research and by practitioners in planning future international experiences.

“…Study abroad is a short-term, pre-planned stay in a country, where the TL is spoken among residents, and the purpose is usually educational (Kinginger, 2008). SA context has produced a large number of empirical results in the L2 pragmatics eld, covering a wide gamut of topics including pragmatic routines, pragmatic awareness, refusing strategies and speech acts (e.g., Taguchi, 2014;Dewey, 2017). Pragmatic competence can be divided into pragmalinguistics and sociopragmatics.…”

Abstract Study abroad (SA) has been acknowledged as an influencing context in the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) field. Although numerous studies have researched the influence of SA on various pragmatic features, pragmatic routine has been scarcely focused on. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effect of SA and intensity of interaction on second language (L2) pragmatic routines development. Two groups of Chinese graduate students completed a multilevel "vocabulary knowledge scale" (VKS) and a written discourse-completion task (DCT) to measure their recognition and production ability, and a language contact profile (LCP) to measure their intensity of interaction. Results revealed the positive influence and advantages of the SA context compared with AH (at-home) context. However, the positive effect of the SA context can not be generalized. SA group's performance was greatly influenced by their intensity of interaction. Through semi-structured interviews, it can be found that individual trajectories and characteristics can act as vital factors on pragmatic development.

“…Program designs can be quite complex, so it is difficult to account for each factor that could affect a participant's response. In addition to program location, type, and length, there are additional factors like housing in a dorm, in a private flat, or with a local family (Dewey, 2017). Another is the mixing of program types (e.g., study with intern or servicelearning), as well as the level, quality, and frequency of engagement with the host culture (Varela, 2017).…”
