"This edited collection of testimonials documents the unexpected outcomes of study abroad cultural experiences. It highlights the value of such experiences and the throng of interwoven dynamics. It showcases the educational learning opportunities for those who participate and how their teacher preparation is enhanced. Its most valuable aspect, however, is the illumination of those dynamics that caught all participants unaware--unaware of cultural similarities and differences, unaware of the power of relationships, unaware of the intricacies of language, unaware of the universal characteristics of children, and mostly, unaware of themselves. This edited volume offers insight to those considering international travel, those involved in cultural exchange and study, those who want to learn and be reminded of life lessons gleaned through the documentaries of others, and those who simply want a reminder of the goodness of people. It would serve as an excellent resource for any study abroad course or program, language education courses, teaching education courses, educational foundation courses, multicultural education courses, and human growth and development courses"--Provided by publisher.
