Reviews

This timely volume uniquely illuminates hidden spaces of study abroad research by exposing plurilingual, translingual, and lingua franca realities. Chapters offer new perspectives on study abroad in demystifying the assumptions of monolingual, monocultural, and authentic immersion experiences. The book provides useful insights on linguistic, geographic, and ethnoracial multiplicities of study abroad. * Ryuko Kubota, University of British Columbia, Canada * This compelling book ushers research on language learning in study abroad into a new era of commitment to social justice. Countering the myth of monolingual immersion, exploring the multilingual realities of student experiences and expanding the contexts under investigation, the volume will be a landmark contribution to the field. * Celeste Kinginger, Pennsylvania State University, USA *

The book provides useful insights on linguistic, geographic, and ethnoracial multiplicities of study abroad. * Ryuko Kubota, University of British Columbia, Canada * ...this truly global book critiques a monolingual bias all too present across the academy—especially in study abroad program offerings for students [...] Having directed a faculty-led study abroad program for more than 20 years, this reviewer found the chapters timely and relevant with a solid theoretical grounding. The concluding chapter directly addresses next steps, and this reviewer was pleased to see the inclusion of the section on race and ethnicity as a key theme of this book. An excellent resource for faculty planning and/or leading study abroad programs in fields across the spectrum of higher education. -- D.M.
