Abstract
Historically, a study abroad experience has been the primary means by which American college and university students could enhance their level of global/international competence through interactive experiences in a German-speaking environment. In recent years, however, we have begun to broaden the opportunities for interactive experiences abroad through the inclusion of more nontraditional approaches, such as education employment abroad. In using the term experiential education, I am referring to any type of experience-based activity which is integrated with subject matter to promote student learning (Kendall 11). Such activities would usually have direct linkage to the student's formal academic experience and would be overseen, structured, and evaluated to a greater or lesser extent by an academic mentor. If structured appropriately, education employment abroad could conceivably include intemships in the student's major field of study, fulltime/part-time jobs in diverse occupational settings, and/or volunteer work supported either wholly or in part by a sponsoring agency.
