Abstract

This chapter provides tips for leading a study abroad course from professors who taught a course focused on instruction and assessment for Second Language Learners to American teachers studying abroad. The author shares information from four, two-week study abroad programs that embedded participation in the International Reading Association's, currently known as the International Literacy Association, World Congress or European Conference in the study abroad course experience. Seeing different cultures and experiencing second language instruction firsthand added depth to the course discussions. This chapter will provide readers with information about what the instructors learned over the progression of the four courses, including tips about language strategy activities to use on trips abroad.
