Abstract:

Abstract Going as a missionary or sending a missionary without proper training is quite reckless, and one of the most critical components of missionary preparation is intercultural readiness. This research was conducted to study the means to enhance one’s intercultural readiness and to measure its four sub-domain components that are likely to enable such a meaningful preparation at pre-departure stage.

Participants found it difficult to find a balance between the different perspectivesafforded by STSE studies. A number of recommendations are offered to strengthen teacher preparation in anEgyptian context.

Abstract:

Abstract There is considerable evidence that suitable preparation for the Erasmus experience can make a significant difference to students. Often, however, institutions have to battle to provide in-depth pre-departure training, and re-entry events or training are too seldom available. Following Erasmus there is rarely space in the curriculum of the home university for reflection, assessment and the integration of the experiences and multi-faceted learning that took place abroad. This article argues that the challenge is therefore to integrate meaningful reflections and assessment into more tra
