چکیده (انگلیسی):

This essay is a report on the experience of adult transformative learning under the conditions of
travel to and within a foreign culture. It is written in the voices and from the perspectives of both
teacher and .student. The role of both is analyzed in the context of Mezirow’s criteria for
transformative learning. this involves structuring the learning experience to bring out the total
collective resources of the adult. The task of the teacher is to set up a learning environment so
that the best chances for deep learning are in place to challenge and support adult students to take
transformative learning risks--steps, plunges, and leaps that lead into a new and unknown world
of differences. In the present case, the study of another culture coupled with actual travel and
cultural immersion with the people was life changing.
