Description / Abstract
Study abroad is often a highlight in a student's university life and is associated with a variety of developmental gains. But what happens during the time abroad that facilitates these changes? Using the personal narratives shared by students of two higher education institutions while spending a semester abroad, this study analyzed the critical incidents which contribute to their competency development during this time.
