摘要:An increasing number of families have gone abroad to help their school-aged children and youth gain international education credentials and provide an opportunity for them to gain English as a global language at a young age. Early study abroad before college (ESA) has been popular in traditional Expansing Circle countries and takes various forms: (1) family-accompanied, long-term stays in Inner Circle countries or relatively short-term stays in English-speaking countries of the Outer Circle; or (2) children-alone study abroad programs in boarding schools or home stays.
