ABSTRACT
Overseas internship has drawn interest from the academia in terms of the internationalization of the university curricula and the provision of international job opportunities. This study examined the relationship between the intention to participate in overseas internship, intercultural sensitivity and language ability of tourism majors. A survey was conducted in a university where internship abroad program is highly recognized among tourism students. A total of 238 responses were used for data analysis. The study results revealed that there is a significant relationship between intercultural sensitivity and the intention to participate in overseas internship. Particularly respect for cultural differences and interaction engagement are found to be important to increase the students' intention to join overseas internship. However, English language ability and the overseas travel experiences that are expected to be related to the intention to participate in overseas internship showed no significant relationship. Based on these findings, it was suggested that an intercultural course needs to be developed and included in the tourism curricula, while integrating intercultural contents in the existing tourism courses.
