Featuring contributions by a global range of established scholars, this covers theoretical and methodological approaches to study abroad and examines their practical implications on program implementation for students, researchers, and administrators interested in learning more about linguistic and personal development during study abroad.

"This authoritative volume exemplifies the contemporary state of the art in research on language learning in study abroad contexts, representing a broad range of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches. It should be required reading for researchers in this field as well as for language education professionals involved in international education."
