Abstrakt: The current study contributes to the existing research on study abroad learning outcomes by eliciting students' own descriptions of significant learning experiences over time. Eight students involved in a semester long study abroad program in Rome were interviewed prior to, during, and 1 month after their study abroad experience. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a dialogical phenomenological method. Student perspectives were summarized individually and then compared for the purpose of identifying commonalities, as well as changes across time. The results support the value of incorporating longitudinal qualitative methods, as well as individual and collective analyses, to the study of learning outcomes in study abroad programs.
