Through their thoughtful, comprehensive and sociohistorically contextualized approach, Kinginger and Zhuang have managed to paint a much more nuanced picture of the value of Study Abroad (SA) than heretofore achieved in Applied Linguistics. Their surveys and interviews of some 11,000 Anglophone alumni of American SA programs abroad offer credible and powerful insights into students' motivations, experiences abroad and post-SA life trajectories. * Claire Kramsch, University of California, Berkeley, USA * This remarkable book represents a real tour de force.

Together, its large scale survey findings and detailed individual narratives make a compelling case for continuing educational investment and improved access to study abroad. * Rosamond Mitchell, University of Southampton, UK * Author InformationCeleste Kinginger is Professor of Applied Linguistics, Penn State University, USA.
