Abstract	This study examined the effects of a script-based communicative intervention (SBCI) on psychological and cultural adaptation in students studying abroad in second language (German and Spanish) contexts. Regardless of language proficiency, students with exposure to the SBCI, relative to those without the intervention, exhibited higher well-being and more positive interactions with members of the host culture. The SBCI improves confidence in authentic interactions, thus facilitating adaptation to the second-language study abroad context. (As Provided).
