Abstract
“This thesis project was carried out at Public University at the English Language Faculty. The thesis project was a qualitative approach, and had two main objectives, identifying the socioaffective factors that influence non-native speakers' interaction when they travel abroad and analyzing the impact that socio-affective factors have on non-native speakers to communicate when they travel abroad. In this case, participants traveled abroad to the United States to a Summer Camp. In order to collect data to achieve the main objectives, a questionnaire with twelve questions was applied to eight participants, nonetheless, just six of them described their experience more extensively, which allowed us to analyze data properly. Research findings revealed that participants presented anxiety and self-esteem issues when they had their first contact with American native speakers, they did not feel confident enough to speak English since the beginning. However, they developed self-confidence through different strategies to improve their listening and speaking communication. Further results and implications are exposed within this thesis project”.
