  • Description: Education can be enhanced by exposure to a variety of approaches to solving common problems. Cozolino (2014) explained that places where people of various cultures, beliefs, and customs congregate, such as seaports and trading centres, are the birthplaces of philosophy: “It is this exposure to alternative worldviews that turbocharges the expansion of perspective” (p. 225). This expansion of perspective may be one of the benefits for university students who participate in a study abroad program. They have been educated hitherto in the educational tradition of their home country, and when they are transplanted to another educational setting, they can obtain an alternative perspective on familiar problems. This is a study of a third-year university pre-service teacher of English from Japan who studied in English in Croatia over a semester. She was able to participate in a vastly different context for both the second language acquisition of English and second language pedagogy. This new setting for language learning both gave her insights into an alternative pedagogy and affirmed her appreciation of the sound pedagogical practices she had experienced in Japan, that she was newly able to appreciate from a distance.
