Description

Language Learning in Study Abroad: A Multilingual Perspective By Wenhao Diao and Emma Trentman Multilingual Matters, 2021 The traditional view of study abroad as a monolingual immersion experience is being challenged by the reality of multilingual realities. This book explores how students navigate multiple languages and dialects during their studies abroad, examining the role of peer interaction, local hosts, and instructors in shaping their language use. Through a critical analysis of translanguaging practices, the authors argue that scholars and study abroad practitioners should consider incorporating multilingual realities into their research and planning. By doing so, they can gain a deeper understanding of how students negotiate the use of local and global varieties of English, and how languages are entwined in historical, cultural, and social contexts. This book presents a powerful argument for a more nuanced approach to language learning in study abroad, one that acknowledges the complexities of multilingualism and its significance in shaping student experiences.
