Description
Anglophone students abroad: Identity, social relationships and language learning presents a major study of British students of French and Spanish undertaking residence abroad. The new dataset provides detailed information on language learning, social networking, integration, and identity development during residence abroad. The book examines the language development of participants in relation to their individual experiences and evolving relationships. It shows that language learning is increasingly dependent on students' own agency and skill, as well as the negotiation of identity in multilingual environments. This study offers valuable insights into the complex processes involved in language learning and social integration among Anglophone students abroad.
