“…The benefits of participating in a study abroad program include increased multicultural awareness, greater foreign language proficiency, better professional and personal development, and better academic performance (Ingraham and Peterson, 2004;Hadis, 2005). Studying abroad is also expected to prepare students for active global citizenship, which would enable American students to strengthen international development efforts and enhance their country's image abroad (Tarrant, Rubin, and Stoner, 2014;Horn and Fry, 2013). Public policymakers have recognized the value of an international study experience.…”

“…This transformational learning process is characterised by seeing the world from a different perspective and increasing personal commitment to the welfare of others (Eyler & Giles 1996). Similarly, Horn and Fry (2013) found that international service-learning experiences that occurred in developing countries and were longer term (i.e. longer than 2-3 weeks) predicted later engagement in global citizenship.…”

This article presents the results from a study into international humanitarian service-learning experiences on young adult volunteers. Specifically, the service-learning experiences of emerging adults who had served in orphanages in Latin America were assessed, in a pre- and post-test design, for their development in areas of social competency such as identity, self-efficacy, self-esteem and ethnocentric attitudes. A mixed-methods design using both qualitative and quantitative measures was used. Both qualitative and quantitative results identified significant and important impacts on the development of the social competencies of these emerging adults. In addition, several qualitative themes illustrated that longer term international service-learning experiences have a profound impact on the social competence of emerging adults.Keywords: International humanitarian service, service-learning, emerging adult competency

“…Yet there has been a significant increase in the number of shorter programs offered (i.e., less than one academic year) and in the number of students enrolling in them, and researchers are finding that these programs also have a positive impact on cross cultural development and intercultural competence (Anderson, et al, 2006;Chieffo & Griffiths, 2004;Donnelly-Smith, 2009). Other studies on short term programs have led to new knowledge in areas such as how the type of program and destination have an effect on global citizenship as seen through volunteerism (Horn & Fry, 2013), and how program length is associated with both changes in cultural identification (Hamad & Lee, 2013) as well as in the cross-cultural adaptation process (Kim, 2001).…”

The number of students expanding their academic programs to include learning experiences abroad has been steadily increasing over the past two decades. This study investigates the cultural identification of short-term study abroad participants and its influence on their acculturation process. By means of a widely used acculturation scale, it was found that there were statistically significant effects of cultural experiences on cultural identification, specifically decreases in cultural identification scores. Implications from this study suggest a deeper understanding of students’ ethnic identifications can be helpful in developing study abroad programs that promote the goals of student awareness, cultural sensitivity, and global competence.
