Cendel Karaman  \nMiddle East Technical University, Turkey  \nAbstract: Short-term international experiential learning opportunities  \ncan foster language teachers' multidimensional development. Even  \nthough such experiences are considered beneficial for language  \nteachers’ development, educational reviews have scarcely  \nconcentrated on a comprehensive synthesis of the impact of such  \nexperiences on language teachers. This meta-synthesis of qualitative research analyzed the role of international experiential learning in the  \nmultidimensional development of pre-and in-service language  \nteachers. Besides presenting a number of research patterns in the  \nliterature, this synthesis of 25 qualitative studies reported main  \noutcomes of short-term international experiences for language  \nteachers. These outcomes were synthesized under three main  \nheadings: (1) professional,(2) linguistic, and (3) intercultural. Based  \non this analysis, further research and practice directions regarding  \ninternational language teacher education emerged. These emerging  \nresearch agendas concentrated on the critical role of peer circles,  \nhost communities, program types and structures, preparation and  \npost-program components, and guidance and supervision.  \nIntroduction  \nTeachers are expected to grasp global interconnectivity, global nature of societal dynamics, respect diversity, and embrace social justice (Phillion & Malewski, 2011; Sleeter, 2008) . Researchers in the field of teacher education conceptualized this broad set of skills with different terms such as intercultural/global competence (Sercu, 2006; Zhao, 2010), global teacherhood (Karaman & Tochon, 2007), and culturally responsive teaching (Gay, 2010; Villegas & Lucas, 2002) . With all these conceptualizations, teachers are encouraged to embrace diversity in their classrooms and foster democratic learning environments. However, in order to help teachers to develop intercultural/global skills, theory would not suffice. There must also be experiential learning opportunities within diverse contexts (Zhao, 2010), as different contexts are known to bring on different kinds of teacher learning (Putnam & Borko, 2000) . This has resulted in a number of teacher education programs around the world integrating temporary study abroad or cultural immersion opportunities into their program components (Smolcic & Katunich, 2017) . Such programs may provide their participants with international student teaching experiences and thereby could be an optimal way to foster intercultural/global and teaching skills. These programs, particularly, can help language teachers explore complex issues around language learning and teaching and develop more confidence toward interculturality, language use, and professional development (IsabelliGarcía, Bown, Plews, & Dewey, 2018) . International programs may, overall, enhance knowledge base and practical repertoire of both pre-and in-service language tea","cbCaijDSkf5fJJNw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijDSkf5fJJNw","pdf",873646,28,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Intercultural/global competence and experiential learning\n## Motivation and research gap\n## Research questions\n# Methods","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"It synthesizes qualitative research to analyze the role of short-term international experiential learning in language teacher education and development.\"},{\"question\":\"Which dimensions of development were synthesized in the outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Outcomes were organized under three headings: professional, linguistic, and intercultural development.\"},{\"question\":\"How many qualitative studies were included, and how were they analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"The meta-synthesis analyzed 25 qualitative studies and reported main outcomes of short-term international experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"What future research and practice directions are suggested?\",\"answer\":\"The emerging agendas emphasize peer circles, host communities, program types and structures, preparation and post-program components, and guidance and supervision.\"}]","Short-Term International Experiences in Language Teacher Education: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis - Article 6 | PDF",1792078022,71]
