This qualitative study aimed to explore Hong Kong pre-service teachers' beliefs about the potential benefits of a short-term study abroad programme and their practices. Pre- and post-programme semi-structured interviews and reflective journals were employed to collect data. The findings suggest that the transformation of beliefs into practices plays a critical role in the actualization of possible learning outcomes, such as increasing the use of the target language, fostering pedagogical development, broadening cultural understanding and nurturing personal growth. The programme per se, however, does not guarantee target language enhancement in a short time. Implications for programme coordinators and future research are discussed.

Researchers have related participation in study abroad experiences to many positive outcomes for nursing students; however, educators are faced with the task of not only developing meaningful study abroad opportunities but sustaining and improving them as well. Educators can evaluate repeat study abroad programs by comparing experiences, looking for trends, and conjecturing rationales. To illustrate this process, an example of a study abroad opportunity that has been repeated over 11 years is presented. The first six years have been compared to the most recent five years, revealing three categories of change for evaluation and the resulting course improvements.

Studying abroad is recognized as a key strategy in preparing students for future international engagements and increasing their cultural intelligence (CQ). Although several studies explore the impact of demographic factors, little is known about the impact of psychographic determinants such as the motivation to go abroad. We analyze the role of cultural boundary spanning (CBS) abroad as a mediator in the relationship between individual motives and CQ in this context. Guided by self-determination theory, we surveyed 901 university students from 46 countries. The results indicate that CBS positively affects all four dimensions of CQ. Structural equation modeling further reveals that intrinsic motivation and high self-determined extrinsic motivation are positively related to CBS and that the impact of these motivations on CQ is mediated by CBS. These findings contribute to our understanding of processes that improve CQ and the roles of motivation and CBS in intercultural interactions abroad. Based on our findings, we recommend that educators include motivation tests in the selection process of exchange students. Moreover, they should consider the negative effect of accompanying friends, and therefore, mix foreign and local students in dormitories, as well as courses and extracurricular activities to support intercultural interactions. CBS skills may be improved through intercultural training, compulsory multicultural team assignments, and university ambassador programs. Further implications of our findings for business schools, international offices, and students are discussed, and future research avenues are highlighted.
