Melanie Bloom: Conclusion: Future Directions in Experiential LearningReviewsThrough a blend of research findings, program examples, lesson plans, and survey questionnaires, the authors offer first-hand accounts of how community-based, experiential learning enhanced the goals of their language learning programs. The broad coverage of issues and topics, spanning kindergarten through higher education, make this a useful volume, not just for language educators, but for all educators interested in strengthening students' capacities to act 'glocally' in multilingual contexts. Andrew Furco, University of Minnesota, USA This essential volume represents a seminal collection by leading scholars in experiential learning as it covers a diversity of topics and languages, divided into three critical areas of practice: community engagement experiences, professional engagement experiences and less common contexts such as language camps and houses. It is a unique contribution, which will be a welcome and useful resource to scholars, faculty and graduate students all over the world. This is certainly a 'must-have'.
