Abstract
As we are now approaching the first quarter of the 21st century, the impact of globalisation has increased the importance of intercultural competence. This study aims to measure the degree of intercultural sensitivity of 30 English major students who have participated in the US Work Travel program. In this study, an online survey adopted from Chen and Starosta (2000)’s Five-Factor Model of Intercultural Sensitivity was used to collect the data. Although participants were English majors who had high level of English proficiency, the level of their intercultural sensitivity was not high enough to claim that it resulted from the program. In addition, they reported not to have much confidence and motivation to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, the program might not actually benefit and help Thai students to develop intercultural skills, the skills needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It is hoped that this study could be useful for teachers, or even parents, to decide whether or not, they would support the students to participate in the program in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
