 note = {Programs to encourage Japanese students to conduct part of their university
education overseas have become increasingly popular in Japan in recent years,
as part of a wider effort for Japan to play a bigger role in a modern, globalised
world. However, students at Japanese universities often lack the requisite
English-language skills to participate in these programs and those that manage
to secure places often encounter a university learning environment that is
very different from what they were used to in Japan.
Within the confines of a university program aimed at students undertaking
long term study abroad, this paper sought to measure students’ awareness in
terms of the realities of studying in a foreign country, their ability to reflect on
a shorter study-abroad experience and also their English-language strengths
and weaknesses. We tried to identify whether there was indeed a link be-
tween higher levels of awareness and those who went on to study abroad.
We collated and quantified data from 17 students by using a questionnaire,
with subsequent interviews with students being incorporated to contextualise
some of the responses. The data collected indicated that students who
achieved study abroad places were more aware than students who did not and
that this small-scale initial study provided the necessary basis on which to con
-duct further research},
