抄録

The authors of the paper have been providing Japanese university students who are planning to study in the U.S. with an American social skills learning session before their study in order to promote their intercultural adaptation. The purpose of the study is to investigate the use of social skills and social support networks by Japanese students during their study in the U.S. in order to analyze the influence of the pre-departure session. To achieve this goal, the authors compared questionnaire and interview responses of two groups of students after their study abroad: those who had joined the pre-departure session and those who had not. The results show that both groups actively used their social skills in the last stage of their study in the U.S. No clear difference between the two groups was found regarding the use of social skills at that stage. The students who had participated in the pre-departure session, however, were more people-oriented than those who had not. In other words, those who had joined the session tended to attach greater importance on making friends during their study abroad. The reasons for this are discussed.
