| Details | The purpose of this study was to analyze an instructional method and the impact of a pre-departure training for study abroad from the viewpoint of transfer of learning. We examined whether students utilized the learning content more while studying abroad when pre-departure training focused on promoting transfer of learning. We first took a close look at an existing pre-departure training for a short-term study abroad program, then through analysis of an issue of lack of learning transfer, we attempted to improve the pre-departure training. After this change, students’ description of the use of the target skill, recorded in their daily reflection, increased. Instruction during pre-departure training, which provided several roleplays pertaining to students’ real-life situation overseas followed by the evaluations to check their attainment and assure that the participants were equipped with the target skill, may have increased their use of the target skill during study abroad. |
