My semester at Bond University in Australia was an incredible experience that combined learning, adventure, and personal growth. The small class sizes and supportive professors made it easy to stay engaged, and I loved how the coursework connected to real-world situations.

Why Study ESL Abroad

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.
