Reviews

This volume offers a fresh perspective on the development of linguistic and intercultural competence in study abroad (SA) settings. Empirical and thematic overview contributions by international scholars on changes in attitudes/perceptions, identity development, input and social network analysis, effects of long-term residence abroad, and individual differences provide a unique, in-depth understanding of factors at play during learners’ development of linguistic/intercultural competence in SA contexts.

This volume makes an important contribution to the literature concerned with language learning and intercultural development during study abroad. The mix of well-designed empirical studies and thought-provoking essays offers new insights, puts forth innovative approaches, and critically examines concepts, methods, and discourses. It is essential reading for scholars, graduate students, and study abroad administrators.

In this informative and timely volume highly respected international researchers provide answers to important issues related to interculturality and study abroad, as well as suggestions on how to move the field forward. Practitioners and researchers alike will find in this volume an excellent resource for the study of linguistic and personal development in immersive contexts.
