There are three japanese major programs at Eastern Michigan University:
japanese Language and Culture, japanese Language and International Trade and
japanese K-12 Certification. All of the majors are required to study abroad in japan
for at least a semester. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of study
abroad on those college students and the ways in which they change. The content of
the study includes but is not limited to the student's language development, cultural
awareness, satisfaction of the current study abroad program, and self-development.
It is hypothesized that students who participate in study abroad will not only
improve their proficiency-level while in japan but also change as a person with
wider perspectives of the world. By participating in study abroad it is also
hypothesized that students will mature personally. It will be evidenced by their
responses to the questions in the interview. This maturity will be accelerated due to
the fact that they are forced to live independently and through this they will also
develop leadership skills being a foreigner who stands out. Having finished the
interviews the results will be analyzed and measured both quantitatively and
qualitatively.
