概要 | It is expected that students will return from Study Abroad programs with positive gains. However, little attention is paid to negative experiences. Students do not want to disappoint others, and they often do not know the cause of their emotional distress. How can educators prepare students for unexpected cross-cultural experiences before departure and provide opportunities for reflection on their return? This session introduced the Contrast Culture Method (CCM), which has been successful in raising awareness of underlying differences in cultural expectations when used with students, educators, and business people. It consists of five main stages: Brainstorming the issues, an unscripted role play, interviews with the role play characters, discussion, and personal reflection. After an explanation of the CCM method, given time constraints, one integral part of CCM— brainstorming what can go wrong when studying abroad—was focused on. |
