How to Study English as a Second Language Abroad
Why
Studying ESL abroad might be the scariest thing you ever do. Leaping headfirst into a foreign country, trying to wrap your tongue around an unfamiliar language and your head around an unfamiliar culture, can be trying to say the least. The good news, though, is that choosing to study ESL abroad might also be the best thing you ever do.
When studying ESL abroad, you get to learn the culture that goes along with the language, putting everything into a global context. Studying textbook photos of English people sipping their tea and catching big red buses is all very well, but actually experiencing these things is invaluable. Learning a language is about so much more than just being able to order a meal. It is about being able to communicate with locals, putting yourself in the shoes of others, and experiencing a totally different perspective on life. It is about breaking down barriers of communication and culture and really connecting with others. It is about embracing cultural differences and celebrating diversity; all of these things are best explored when ESL learners and English speakers are properly introduced.
Locations
When it comes to picking a location to study ESL abroad, you have your pick of English speaking crops; the location options for ESL study abroad programs are practically endless. Northern or Southern hemisphere? Hot or cold climate? City or small town? To narrow it down, start by checking out some of the most popular spots for studying English abroad outlined below:
England. If you want your English vocabulary to include things like cream tea, bangers, mash, and black pudding, then England might be the right spot for your ESL studies abroad. With a history and culture older than the stones of Stonehenge, and better cuisine than the French ever give them credit for, the original English speakers will make sure you have a rollicking good time during your ESL study abroad program.
New Zealand. If you want a few helpings of adventure with your ESL classes, head down under. New Zealand’s natural beauty is legendary and the friendly vibe infectious. You will have plenty of opportunities to practice your newfound English (and rugby) skills with curious Kiwis, although you might have a little trouble deciphering the accent at times. Note: Be sure to clarify the difference between “eating Kiwis” and “eating kiwifruit” in your ESL classes.
Ireland. If your preferred way to practice English is by singing along to your favorite tunes, you will be right at home on the Emerald Isle. With every pub (and these are many pubs) alive with the sound of music, you will perfect your pronunciation in no time by joining in with the locals and lending your vocals to live Irish bands. Just make sure to pack an umbrella, some sturdy rain boots, and a love for potatoes if you choose an ESL program in Ireland.
United States. From the east coast to the west, the United States is bursting with opportunities to study ESL. Now is your chance to live in one of the cities you have seen on screen (hello, Hollywood!), or get off the map and discover a completely different side to this diverse country. If deciding where to study ESL in the U.S. is too tough, just remember; whichever state you choose, all of the others are just an epic road trip away.
Program Options
English as a second language is one of the most versatile study abroad options you can possibly choose. You can study ESL abroad in almost any setting you desire, with any course structure you prefer, in whatever living arrangement suits you best.
Depending on your priorities, you can find ESL courses offered by universities, specified language schools, or private tutors. If gaining proficiency in English as quickly and efficiently as possible is your main focus, individual tuition is the most intensive way of going about it. If you prefer to take a more collaborative approach to language learning, small groups are great for sharing and discussing ideas. Larger classes are a surefire way to develop your social network and find peers in a similar learning journey. If you want to reap the benefits of more than one of these program types, just hunt around. Some ESL courses abroad combine group classes with one-on-one tuition, so that you can get sufficient individual feedback while still learning in a group environment. It’s just a matter of finding the right fit for you!
In terms of accommodation, homestays are a great way to jump right into the culture of the country where you have chosen to study ESL abroad. Living with a local family means you will have more concentrated English exposure and learning opportunities, but if you want your course to include extra-curricular activities, such as exploring the local nightlife, you may want to be in a more social setting. Student housing will definitely facilitate your social life and help you get acquainted with other students from around the globe. If sleep is important to you, however, you may want to consider an independent apartment.
Benefits & Challenges
Aside from the obvious benefit of shaping up your English language skills, meeting a bunch of like-minded individuals and shortening your bucket list, you stand to gain a bucket load of benefits from studying ESL abroad.
If you are in a country that speaks English, you will have the benefit of being completely immersed in the language. If may not feel like a benefit at first, but being up to your ears in English will put you on the fast track and accelerate your speaking, listening, and comprehension skills. Studying English in a classroom is necessary, but putting it to use is the best way to improve and build your confidence. Going to a supermarket, catching a bus, asking for directions, even the tiniest of interactions in your day to day life will boost your ESL skills and help you get the most out of your ESL courses abroad.
On the flip side of language immersion, it will be sink or swim in terms of language practice. A lot of English speaking countries won’t speak any language BUT English, so you will be lost for words if you can’t find any English ones. You will perfect your “deer-in-headlights stare” when you don’t understand the words being spoken to you, and there will almost certainly be moments when you feel as if you aren’t making any progress at all. The first few days can be mentally exhausting, but with a little perseverance, frantic hand gestures, and deep breathing, you will be speaking English in no time.
With all of the exciting possibilities out there for studying ESL abroad, the hardest part will be picking your program. Once you have struggled through that difficult, decision-making time, you will already be well on your way to international, English-based adventures. Oh, the places you’ll go!

Life Changing Experience!
September 02, 2026by: Samuel Acosta - United StatesMy time in Italy was one of the most amazing, life-changing, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to visit Italy for the first time, especially since it was also my first time flying on an airplane. I loved how affordable the program was for everything that was included. We traveled throughout Central Italy, enjoyed amazing food and accommodations, and were guided by caring faculty and tour guides who truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. This trip gave me unforgettable memories, new friendships, and experiences that I will always be grateful for.
Amazing experience with an extremely smooth, well-ran program.
September 02, 2026by: Jay Robertson - United StatesI had an unforgettable time in Italy with Molise Italian Studies. It was my first time visiting a country outside of the United States, so I was a little worried at first. However, the program was so well run and smooth that I soon had no worries whatsoever. Our guide, Andrea, was excellent and our trip would not have been what it was without him. I would highly recommend Molise Italian Studies to any one who is interested in Italian culture, history, or exploring another country.
Best Italy Trip
September 02, 2026by: Luisana Salas - United StatesMy study abroad experience to Italy was incredible. I had met so many new amazing people and new connections. Our tour guide, Andrea, was very helpful, patient, and kind throughout the whole trip. I am very grateful to be chosen to attend this trip.
MUST DO SEMESTER ABROAD
August 26, 2026by: Kalia Helgesen - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Gold Coast, Australia with WorldStrides
Studying abroad was the best choice I've ever made. Worldstrides, as a partnership program, was the best. The first week, we met for orientation in Cairns, Australia, and they took care of hotel and excursion expenses (this includes the Great Barrier Reef). It was a great first week getting introduced to Australia and my program. They were very helpful before and during my time in Australia, always there for questions, concerns, and planning a handful of group activities + one overnight trip! They were truly a blessing while abroad.
Life Changing
July 16, 2026by: Breanna Gotch - United StatesMy experience studying abroad in Molise Italy was absolutely life-changing. I learned so much about culture, made lifetime, friendships, and endless memories. Getting to experience the culture and beauty of Molise was the absolute highlight of my summer.
Grazie, Breanna! Colli really is beautiful and it's such a great partnership!
Incredible experience!
July 03, 2026by: Maggie Hernandez - United StatesThe Molise Italian Studies program was a wonderful way to be immersed in the Molise region, some of the Puglia region, and Rome. By visiting some of the smaller, lesser-known areas in these regions, I got to see firsthand how people live, work, and support their communities through the activities and social work experiences. I can say I grew as a person and have a new outlook on my everyday life at home. It was evident that Italians in these regions value community and connection. I appreciated the opportunities to participate in activities at some of the agencies, such as at LAI and in Capracotta, rather than simply observing the activity. Our tour leader, Andrea, was kind, patient, organized, and knowledgeable throughout the entire trip.
Grazie, Maggie! We are so glad to hear this trip made such an impact on you, and we can't wait to hear about your plans moving forward!
So much fun!
July 02, 2026by: Alex Santoro - United StatesI had an absolutely amazing time; I made so many incredible memories that I truly won't ever forget. The friendships I made were so awesome, and the opportunities to experience true culture were life-changing. Both of my professors were absolutely wonderful, and our guide was incredible. Everyone was so amazing and truly tried their best to give us the most rewarding experience possible, and they exceeded my dreams.
Grazie, Alex!
Wonderful, meaningful trip!
July 01, 2026by: Jen McLaughlin - United StatesMyself and my colleague brought a group of ten university students on a trip with Molise, and we could not be happier! Our guides were knowledgeable and kind. Every single person we encountered along the way as we traveled was welcoming and gracious. So many laughs were shared amongst our students and the Italian community, and we never once felt as if we were not in steady, capable hands with the company. Upon returning home from Italy, we immediately arranged our next trip with Scott and Megan, and plan to continue this trip regularly to allow students to continue to experience all the amazing things our first group did.
Thank you, Jen! Looking forward to working with Wilkes again in 2027!
Abroad Dreams Come True
July 01, 2026by: Cialyn Floyd - United StatesAs a student who dreamed of going abroad for years, I never considered a trip like this would be at my fingertips. Many know that traveling abroad is a big decision because it involves location costs return of investment and with being in school of the timeline of when it’s going to happen. I decided to make my minor Hotel restaurant management sophomore year of college, but wasn’t sure of how I was still going to make my broad dream come true. Fall semester of 2024 when I was in one of my HRM studies I wondered what options there could be to study the subject abroad. That’s when I discovered the Molise Italian Studies program NAU in Italy: Economics of Gastronomy. After promptly siding up, I was introduced to a fully guided program with pre-arrival meetings that fully explained the details and necessary precautions of going abroad. Which included an itinerary of the daily activities the lessons that would be focused on and places of accommodation. All details, which transferred extremely well into the actual trip. Each lesson was fully in depth and offered different opportunities. My favorite day was probably the day we visited Di Iorio Tartufi - Italian Truffle where we learned how truffles were safely found and made into a meal. I came home with at least 5 jars!! I highly enjoyed the environment, the greenery, and absolutely the delicious assortment of truffle products. At the end of the day, this program offered me a week of excitement and verity of locations across molise. I couldn’t have asked for a better program to introduce me to the world of traveling.
Grazie, Cialyn! So glad to be a part of your HRM journey (& we dream of truffles too)!
Boss semester
June 27, 2026by: Ezra Bradford - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad Semester Program
I had a pretty great semester at UL. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and the professors, but also learned a lot about myself and the Irish people. I joined the Christian Union pretty early on and was welcomed into fellowship with that group. I accompanied some friends of that group into smaller towns I may not have otherwise visited and helped lead churches playing piano. I was welcomed into homes and I really felt loved. I also got to see much of the countryside and felt it easy to travel around to sight see. My time in Ireland is a time where I grew in knowing myself but also my understanding of the world. I loved learning Irish traditions, culture, and history, and I know that I could never know nearly as much by staying home.
Life changing!
June 23, 2026by: Graziella Hartman - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad Semester Program
In my time here, I learned so much about what I am capable of and what the world has to offer. This is largely due to the support of the study abroad team and resources like the writing, counseling, and health centers. I am so proud of all I have accomplished, be it in academics and the things I learned, and in stepping out of my comfort zone and exploring more about Ireland, Irish culture, and how I immerse myself in it. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this possible for me.
Political Science Study Abroad
June 21, 2026by: Isabel Perez - United StatesProgram: Service Learning Projects | Costa Rica, Guatemala, & Peru!
I had the best experience with our Guide Michael for our Political Science Study Abroad. Michael was very easy to speak to in regards to personal matters and not once was there any judgement whatsoever. For my first experience on a study abroad program I’m glad that it was with someone as a guide so caring like him.

This experience has been one of the best of my life. The people of Costa Rica have given so much patience and gratitude for our work and that makes the long days totally worth it. My confidence has grown so much over this trip and it has given me so much clarity. I am forever blessed to have met the Maximo staff and everyone along the road.

The best four months of my studies spent at UL!
May 26, 2026by: Antonia Heil - AustriaProgram: Study Abroad Semester Program
It was honestly the best experience it could have been - Great organization of the study abroad program, easy module selection, broad offer of modules, fun and regular campus activities, a bunch of reserved housing spaces for international students (be fast though) and a great study abroad team that helps with all your worries! I made so many good friends and enjoyed the spring semester immensely. 10/10 would recommend. the only negative part is that Ireland is a pretty expensive country as it is... UL offers a lot of cheaper food options though, that helped!
An experience of a life time!
May 14, 2026by: LeQuasia Cochran - United StatesProgram: Service Learning Projects | Costa Rica, Guatemala, & Peru!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My experience with Maximum in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. This was my very first time studying abroad, and I could not have asked for a more welcoming, loving, and meaningful experience. From the moment I arrived, everyone at Maximum made me feel like family. The energy, kindness, accommodations, and overall atmosphere were so warm and uplifting. Every experience and visit touched my heart in a special way. From visiting nursing homes, substance abuse facilities, and the HIV clinic, every encounter was memorable and meaningful. Every person I met made an impact on me. Everyone was so welcoming and willing to take me under their wing—teaching me their language, sharing their culture, and allowing me to experience life from a completely different perspective. This experience opened my eyes and gave me a new appreciation for life. It allowed me to see the beauty in people, culture, and community in a way I will never forget. I truly felt the energy of such beautiful people, and if given the opportunity, I would come back and work here to continue making an impact just as we experienced during this journey. A very special thank you to Ellen, our leader and guide. She was absolutely amazing, and I am so grateful for the wonderful experiences and locations she selected for us. Her guidance and care made this trip even more special. I would also love to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting: Hector, Karen, Victoria, Jax, Gabby, Kaylee, Maria Arias (thank you for the awesome chicken sandwich!), our amazing driver, Michael, Sharon, and so many others who made us feel welcomed and cared for. Special thanks as well to Dr. Alex, Dr. Tatiana, and Nurse Gerald for taking time out of their busy schedules to teach, guide, and share their knowledge and experiences with us. To every person who participated and made this journey possible: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made a lasting impact on my life, and I will forever remember this experience. God bless you all!

Best thing to happen to my Spanish!
May 11, 2026by: Tulip Bitange - KenyaBeing a premed student I was at first quite hesitant about applying for a study abroad since I was not very sure how it would work with my science classes. That was until I came across Spanish Study Abroad's page and saw that they offered a wide range of classes and programs that could too work for science majors! My first time applying was for the Spring of 2025 for which I was able to take both Spanish classes and do an internship organized by the Spanish Study Abroad branch in Seville at IENSA (a neurosurgery and neurology center in Seville). My second time, was the Spring of 2026 and with how well the program is organized, I was able to do my last Biochemistry class at University Pablo de Olavide. Long story short, the first semester abroad was honestly one of the best decisions of my life and definitely the best decision for my Spanish since between learning in the program and engaging with the very friendly Andalucian people, I successfully moved a whole level up in my Spanish in just a couple months. Additionally, Seville is culturally rich and I love that the program makes it a point to explain and share the wonderful culture and cusine with us! From this experience, I built my confidence and knowledge in Spanish and made very important connections with both locals and in the Spanish healthcare system. I loved it so much, I did the study abroad TWICE and I can confidently say it was 100% worth it!!!
Great Professors and Sevilla Activities
April 29, 2026by: Jose C.The professors are really good to teach the classes and as persons, Sevilla is a beautiful place, all the activities CIEE has as trips, sports, and learning more about the community and culture of Sevilla. That is why I would recommend CIEE.
Between Languages, Between Worlds
April 18, 2026by: Maria Huerta - United StatesStudying abroad was more than travel, it was learning how to exist between languages, cultures, and systems of power. Coming from a background shaped by migration, the experience felt deeply personal. Walking through new cities, I began to notice not only differences in culture, but in how societies are organized, who has access, and how opportunity is distributed. It made me reflect on policy beyond textbooks—how decisions made in offices translate into real lives, real barriers, and real possibilities. I saw how history, governance, and identity intersect in everyday spaces, from public institutions to conversations with people from different backgrounds. There were moments of uncertainty, of not fully belonging, but also moments of clarity where I understood that navigating these spaces is itself a form of political awareness. I didn’t just learn about the world, I learned how to read it, question it, and imagine how it could be better. This experience didn’t just expand my perspective it gave me a deeper sense of purpose. It reminded me why I chose to study political science, and why I want to be part of the conversations and decisions that shape our global future. https://www.instagram.com/huerta_mmx/
