  • INFORMATION CAPSULE Research Services
    INFORMATION CAPSULE Research Services Vol. 0819 Christie Blazer, Supervisor May 2009 FOREIGN EXCHANGE PROGRAMS At a Glance High school foreign exchange programs are gaining in popularity because of their ability to enhance students’ international awareness and respect for diversity in an increasingly global community. This Information Capsule summarizes the benefits of high school foreign exchange programs and reviews research conducted on their impact on students’ foreign language acquisition and personal and intercultural development. Guidelines for school districts to follow when accepting foreign exchange students or encouraging their own students to study abroad are provided. In addition, some of the more popular foreign exchange programs operating within the U.S. are briefly described. High school foreign exchange programs allow students to live and study in a country other than their own, usually for one full school year or one academic semester. Students live with a host family and attend a local school to learn another language and a new culture. The goal of most foreign exchange programs is to help enhance students’ international awareness and respect for diversity in an increasingly global community. Many programs do not require an actual exchange of individual students between different countries on a one-to-one basis. In these cases, the exchange consists of foreign students and host communities sharing their respective cultures with each other (Council on Standards for International Educational Travel, 2009; Boyd et al., 2001; Lutterman-Aguilar, 2000). No official data are available on the number of high school students participating in foreign exchange programs worldwide, although there are estimated to be tens of thousands of high school students traveling abroad on exchange programs each year (Rotary International, 2009; AFS Intercultural Programs, 2005).
