Students developed an interview protocol.
Students were divided into three groups. Each group was responsible to develop questions about three different phases: before moving to the US, right after moving to the US, and currently. Students were given freedom to explore any topics they judged to be relevant. Lastly, each group shared their questions with the others who gave them feedback.
Students without experience abroad may not know about obstacles when studying abroad. Pair them with others who already studied abroad. If very few have, more scaffolding is needed.
