They took the TOEIC IP, TOEFL iBT, and MK tests. A questionnaire regarding their motivation to study English was administered and additional interviews were held, and their attitudes toward learning were closely observed. The results showed that academic English skills did not markedly improve before study abroad, but after study abroad, general and academic English skills did improve with the exception of their academic reading skills, although there were individual difference. The GPA was moderately connected with the TOEFL iBT, motivation, and MK. One third of the students got a job related to using English including students who decided to study abroad again. Most students realized the gap between their L2 proficiency and what was required in the business world during their job searches., 論文}, pages = {15--35}, title = {A Study of University Students Who Studied Abroad for a Year : The Development of L2 Proficiency and Career Selection}, volume = {33}, year = {2016}, yomi = {イイダ, ツヨシ} }
