Yurtdışı eğitim olanakları yükseköğretim öğrencilerinin gelişimlerine önemli katkılarda bulunabilir. Fakat, katılımcıların uluslararası hareketlilik döneminden önceki hazırlık deneyimleri ve gelecek odaklı düşünce örüntüleri bu tür programlardan kazanılabilecek edinimlerin niteliğini etkileyebilir. Bu çalışma, bu sebeple, İngiltere'de dört aylık bir süreç için eğitim almayı seçen Türk İngilizce öğretmen adaylarının hazırlık deneyimlerini incelemiştir. Bu çalışmada, yorumlayıcı bir fenomenolojik analiz yönteminden yararlanılarak, katılımcıların yaşadıkları ve hayal ettikleri deneyimlerin üç ana tema ile şekillendirildiği ortaya konmuştur: temelsiz bir iyimserlik, deneyimsizlik ve kültürlerarası yeter(siz)lik. Bu bulgulara dayanarak, yurtdışı eğitim programlarına yönelik hazırlık süreçlerinin tasarımı ile ilgili önemli unsurlar tartışılmıştır.
