"This book makes a timely and significant contribution to the field of Study Abroad (SA) research and practice. Interweaving theoretical argumentation and commentary with empirical accounts from 17 different countries, this volume is a highly compelling and multi-voiced exploration of study abroad programming, pedagogy and student engagement. The book is a must-read for scholars, practitioners and participants involved in cultural and geographic exchange." (Daniela Elsner, Professor, Goethe-University Frankfurt/ Main)"This timely volume demonstrates how scholars in different parts of the world can impact the language learning of study abroad students through theory-inspired, research-informed practice. A welcome addition to the field, this edited collection will be of interest to both experienced and novice study abroad professionals who seek to enhance the international educational experience of second language speakers." (Jane Jackson, Professor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong) "This volume gets down to the nitty-gritty of second language study abroad. The editors have been resolute in ensuring that all contributions focus on programming, pedagogy and participant engagement at the micro level of experience. At the same time, big issues are not ignored, mainly through reference to other research and practice in the field and connecting with current conceptualizations of study abroad more broadly. The chapters are immensely readable, covering a wide range of regional contexts, student and teacher participants, and programme designs. They are also instructive, providing plenty of ideas for further research and programme development, all summarised very nicely by the editors in their introductory chapter. This book is a very timely contribution." (Gary Barkhuizen, Professor and Head of School, University of Auckland)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
