摘要
Although mobility actions are popular among European students, little research has been conducted on the impact of such actions on the linguistic and non-linguistic aspects of learners' development. From this perspective, this paper focuses on two of the theoretical benefits of students' participation in the Erasmus programme, namely language learning and intercultural awareness. Thus, the present study first reports on students' participation in mobility programmes at the Universitat Jaume I. Then, on the basis of students' motivation to take part in mobility programmes, the study analyses the impact that students' participation in the Erasmus programme has on language gains, intercultural awareness and changes in beliefs and perceptions after their stay abroad.
