STUDY ABROAD

MYTHS

Study abroad participants must speak another language.Students are NOT required to speak a second language to study abroad. Most programs offer English-taught courses even in non-English speaking countries.

Study abroad is not affordable.Many programs are similar in cost to a semester at SVSU. Some programs are more affordable while others are considerably more expensive. Financial aid, scholarships, loans, and grants can help cover the cost of study abroad programs.

Studying abroad will delay my graduation.Careful program and course selection allow a student to stay on track with degree progress. Students should talk to their study abroad advisor and an academic advisor about making an academic plan.

Studying abroad is not relevant to my future career. Employers are increasingly realizing the value of candidates with the maturity, flexibility, and inter-cultural competence developed during studying abroad. In our global economy, international experiencewill help students be competitive in the job market.

Study abroad is not for non-traditional students. OIAS is committed to helping students find a program that accommodates time constraints and family/professional obligations. Many non-traditional students choose to participate in faculty-led programs, which range from two to three weeks in duration.

Sam Hudson

Senior, BA – English EducationCosta Rica, Summer 2014: USAC

“My study abroad trip really gave me a new perspective on the world. Regardless of where you decide to go, your trip will teach you something incredible that you had probably never thought of before your journey.”

WORDS OF WISDOM


There are a number of program features to consider when browsing through

program options. Although students are responsible for choosing their study abroad program, staff and peer advisors

CHOOSING A PROGRAM

Nina DulekSophomore, BBA – International BusinessItaly, Fall 2014: Athena Study Abroad

“I feel that going out of my comfort zone has prepared me for the world. It has opened my eyes and many doors to my future. My advice –Don’t ever miss an opportunity. If you have it, if you can make it happen, do it.”

DnZell TeagueAlumna, BA – TheatreGhana, Winter Break 2012: Faculty-led ProgramTaiwan, Spring 2013: Ming Chuan UniversityEurope, Spring 2015: Faculty-led Program

“Take thoughtful risks and a leap of faith. Prior to the trip, get to know the people who are going on the same trip if possible. When I think of my last study abroad, the first things that come to mind are so many new friendships. “

Charlotte NorfleetAlumna, BBA – Marketing India, Winter Break 2015: Faculty-led Program

“The trip not only changed the way I perceive the world around me, but it gave me a remarkable desire to improve what I see. This experience has taught me the meaning of ‘if you don’t like it, change it’ in the most meaningful way imaginable.”

Lizzi RadosaAlumna, BBA – International BusinessAustralia, Winter 2012: University of NewcastleIndia, Winter Break 2015: Faculty-led Program

“Even if you do have to take out a small loan like me, it is totally worth it. I have had so many people tell me the only thing they regret from college is not studying abroad. Don’t let that be you!“

STUDENT TEACHING

ABROAD

Student Teaching PlacementIn English-speaking countries, you can expect to teach classes in your licensing areas (elementary education, secondary mathematics, visual arts, and so on).

In non-English speaking countries, your focus will be working with your school’s foreign language teachers to provide instruction in conversational and written English. If you happen to be fluent in your host country’s native language, you may have the opportunity to teach classes in your licensing area. Most participating schools, however, value the program because they want to expose students to native English speakers.

You can choose placement in the following

countries:

AustraliaChinaCosta RicaEcuadorEnglandGreece

IndiaIrelandItalyJapanKenyaNew Zealand

NorwayRussiaScotlandSpainTurkeyWales

INDIA

Student teaching abroad offers SVSU student teachers the option of adding a cross-cultural learning and teaching experience to their resumé. Student teachers typically spend the first eight weeks of teaching in Michigan and the second eight weeks at an English-medium school abroad.
