Most of Pre-service EFL teachers from the Modern Languages major (LEMO) tend to apply for this program to get a job in an American summer camp. Although summer camp programs are mostly offered as a cultural exchange, participants tend to ignore it astonished with the fact of travelling, being in another country plus the lack of information provided from the sponsors. No matter the lack of information, participants go to summer camps without knowing what they will face. Consequently, participants experience negative aspects which they use to link to their lack of English proficiency making evident problems regarding communication. This research aims to explore pre-service EFL teachers‟ experiences from LEMO who have already attended to an American summer camps. By analyzing participants‟ experiences it is intended to find out communicative problems that might have produced an uncomfortable environment, frustration aspects in students while staying in a camp, the strategies to overcome such problems as well as to discover whether they were aware of what a cultural exchange program demands or not."pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAProgramas de intercambio estudiantilAdquisición de segunda lenguaTesis de licenciaturaCampamentos escolaresIntercambio de estudiantesIntercambio de maestrosCompetencia comunicativaopenAccess
