This book addresses the need for a recognition of the multilingual reality of study abroad across a variety of traditional and non-traditional national contexts and target languages. The chapters examine multilingual socialization and translanguaging with peers, local hosts and instructors; how the target language is necessarily entwined in global, local and historical contexts; and how students negotiate the use of local and global varieties of English. Together the chapters present a powerful argument for scholars and study abroad practitioners to consider and critically incorporate multilingual realities into their research and planning.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This compelling book ushers research on language learning in study abroad into a new era of commitment to social justice.
