The context of international integration and development has raised the importance of studying foreign language, especially English - an international language.

However, it has been prove that learning foreign language abroad is the fastest, most effective way to learn a new language. Millions of people every year move to foreign countries such as Australia, Britain or America, in order to study at school, college or university. Learning a foreign language may appear difficult when trying to learn by yourself or in a classroom at home. However, learning a language abroad facilitates your ability to learn the language with the experience fun, memorable and exciting. There are various benefits of study foreign language abroad including real interaction environment, academic benefits, and immersing in new culture.

The main advantage to study abroad is that you can practice your target language everyday not only in classes because you are surrounded by the language. You can meet new people, develop new interests and become more independent. For example, when we go out to eat, we have to order food in the new language. We also have to read road signs, go grocery shopping, ask for directions, and do every other activity in our daily life in the new language. This helps us learn the language very quickly because we are forced to speak, read, and write the target language on a daily basis. Furthermore, the teachers at the language school where we study will likely teach us the new language without speaking our mother tongue. This will force us to concentrate on what the teacher is saying by reading his or her gestures and expressions. In addition, students will be required to speak with their classmates in the new language. In brief, studying a foreign language abroad gives us a ready – made environment to communicate in that language.

Most of the students go to abroad to study because of the high standard of education offered. Overseas education offers many good foreign universities to international students. These universities often have advanced teaching facilities and other resources. In addition, teachers also have higher professional standards; they fully understand the latest developments in their academic fields. For example, according to The Times, "Oxford and Cambridge are among the world's top ten universities. They were fifth and sixth respectively in the league table of the world's 200 best universities. Harvard, which boasts an endowment of nearly $23billion, was first in the list produced by The Times Higher Education Supplement". Thanks to the high educational quality, degrees, diplomas and other awards have been received worldwide recognition and the qualification obtained by international students is valid anywhere in the world.

Studying a foreign language abroad helps students not only speak language fluently but also develop a greater awareness and deeper understanding of other cultures and a more positive interaction with people from other nations. Staying with a host family which serve students meals and let them stay in home is one of the most effective ways to learn a new culture. Students have a chance to eat home cooked local cuisine, meet extended family members, and attend traditional parties and celebrations with the host family members. Cultural differences are more than just differences in language, food, appearances, and personal habits. A person's culture reflects very deep perceptions, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life. Students who study abroad return home with new ideas and perspectives about themselves and their own culture. The experience abroad often challenges them to reconsider their own beliefs and values. The experience may perhaps strengthen those values or it may cause students to alter or abandon them and embrace new concepts and perceptions. The encounter with other cultures enables students to see their own culture through new eyes.

Studying abroad is full of amazing experiences, from learning a new culture and language to making new friends from diverse ethnic and national backgrounds. In the end, students will return with a new sense of independence and more confidence. That will equip students to face challenges presented by the real world during college and in their professional career in the future. There are also various benefits of study foreign language abroad such as developing more flexibility thinking, meeting lots of interesting people, enjoying the satisfaction of achieving a personal goal. However, the coin has two sides; study abroad may be challenges because of high tuitions and conflicts in culture. In conclusion, while studying abroad offers great opportunities for a better future, it also has challenges that we must try our best to overcome what happened to make our dream come true.
