Step 2: Exquisite Corpse Studying abroad is a fast-growing phenomenon, urged on by ease of travel, by political changes, by economic need, by cultural interaction. Travel is part of the lives of many young people of university age besides experiencing another way of life for students including changing thoughts, eating, drinking, and daily life. Studying abroad is one of the most valuable cultural experiences you can have in college.  Studying abroad is a great experience and a very good opportunity for international students since thanks to the current political changes, it has allowed easy access to education where students from all over the world can access it in different ways. For example Kokusai BunkaKyoiku Senta, and Hayashi, (2000) stated “According to recent statistics, the globalization has made studying abroad accessible for more young Japanese where the universities have a branch in a foreign country or a program for study abroad as a course requirement” (Pg12). But in other countries education is free, or there are many financial benefits for international students besides obtaining a foreign qualification instead of your own country. Another important factor is cultural interaction, according to Michael Byram (2006) “studying abroad will lead to greater cultural capital for the student, it also resulted in better international relations and an additional dimension to the educational experience” (Page 1). In addition to positively benefiting the young person in terms of self-esteem, it helps him to be someone more sure of himself and his decisions, for example, some Colombians who have immigrated to Canada have said that they have suffered from bullying and discrimination and that these experiences have helped strengthen his character, self-esteem and security. On the other hand, it improves international relations between individuals and countries, as you could be acquiring new friendships and new knowledge through this wonderful adventure.

For study abroad necessitates living abroad, experiencing another way of life, changing one’s habits of thought as well as those of eating, drinking, daily life and even experiment other kinds of experiences since you will not only speak English in the classroom but also outside of it because you will have 24 hours of continuous learning. In addition, you will live together with native speakers and discover first-hand the culture where this language originated. According to Anwei Feng (2006) “many foreign students often live in isolation, on the margins of the society in which they reside. But in many universities, there exist communities within the community with the aim that the foreign students that normally live isolated are included and integrated” (page 2). On the other hand, it is necessary that foreign students known about culture, gastronomy, politics, history and entertainment since according Flora Lewis "Learning another language is not just learning different words for the same things, but learning another way of thinking about things".

Studying abroad is one of the most valuable and enriching cultural, educational, and emotional experiences you can have in college. Besides, you will experience another way of life, you will change habits, you will have other types of experiences, you will meet people from different parts of the world, you will learn the language by living, practicing, experiencing with native speakers, of first-hand. On the other hand, by experiencing and getting to know a new culture, the student will be able to strengthen their character, self-esteem, and security, in addition to forming friendships and international relationships, it will have economic benefits so that their access to learning a second language is easier and more motivating because studying abroad is an indescribable experience.
