Year Abroad Podcast Question Bank by Mariana Bonnouvrier https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve Share your questions for finalists to talk about the Year Abroad in the podcast episodes : Where did you go? What did you enjoy the most? What was the biggest challenge and how did you overcome it? Orient the questions toward their experience. Remember some people went to study abroad, others to work, others taught English, try to ask specific questions about these categories, about life abroad, social life, staying in touch with relatives, self care, etc. Make sure you read through other questions too so as to avoid the same questions being repeated many times, you can also like some questions, if they are popular we'll make sure to ask them! en-us 2023-09-21 08:22:22 UTC 2024-10-30 10:17:15 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f399.png Example : What did you do on your Year Abroad and why did you choose that? mb2994 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2726099548 2023-09-29 13:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2726099548 Example 2 : What would you have liked to be told before going? mb2994 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2733839573 2023-10-05 12:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2733839573 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2734524820 Do you recommend doing a study abroad in both countries if you aren’t sure about working/ doing a placement?]]> 2023-10-05 19:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2734524820 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2734527174 How easy was it to settle into university life in another country?]]> 2023-10-05 19:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2734527174 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2735600561 What was the biggest surprise when you arrived abroad?]]> 2023-10-06 13:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2735600561 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2735601517 What is your best advice for making native friends and not staying in the international student "bubble"?]]> 2023-10-06 13:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2735601517 https://padlet.com/mb2994/rdr0arbil9i8k9ve/wish/2737250723 What do you do when you feel quite homesick?
