CAE Proposal Introduction The purpose of this report is to present common issues students have when studying abroad, and suggest the intended course of action which gives some proper solutions. The final section adds recommendations which could be useful to include in course curriculum. Basic problems faced by students studying abroad We conducted a survey which helped us to analyze main problems those were frequently encountered by participants of exchange programs. The most part of students complained of a huge language barrier which had prevented them from effective communication with residents of the country they had visited. Many of the interviewees confessed that had felt a cultural shock which was the main challenge for them they had to face. Other askees conceded that they had suffered from loneliness and ill-preparedness for difficulties during the program. Students, had participated in an international exchange programs, said that it had been unknown to them what kind of things were supposed to be packed must-have. Some of the questionnees added that they had packed wrong things and could not buy the necessary things during their staying in the foreign country. Participants of the survey shared their opinions that if they had been ready for the climate change, the time they spent in another country would have been much pleasurable.

The aim of the course is to raise awareness, provide effective advices and give a full-time preparation to aid participants to get used to cultural differences, a language barrier and climate change.
