He said that he would take a leave of absence to study abroad.
a leave of absence＝（略して）LOA=「休職」（ただし、雇用状態を保っている。）
take a leave of absence＝「休職する」
LOAには、paid LOAとunpaid LOAがあります。
paid LOAは、有給の休職です。
unpaid LOAは、無給の休職です。
日本の場合は、従業員自ら申し出る場合は、unpaid LOAになります。
企業派遣で留学する場合は、paid LOAになります。
お役に立てば、幸いです。

Leave of absence = A leave of absence (LOA) is a period of time that one must be away from one's primary job, while maintaining the status of employee. This contrasts with normal periods away from the workplace, such as vacations, holidays, hiatuses, sabbaticals, and "working from home" programs, in that they are considered exceptional circumstances, rather than benefits. Generally such an arrangement has a predefined termination at a particular date or after a certain event has occurred.
Going to = 何か決まったプランがあるのなら、この形で聞くことができます。.
To put something on hold = 何かをプロセスするのに一旦停止すること。
