Table of ContentsReviewsEmpirical and theoretical information bearing upon the large numbers of students who enroll in higher-education programmes abroad is combined here with many personal observations from students themselves. A particular strength is the association revealed among the psychological, sociocultural and academic adjustments that accompany overseas scholarship. At the core of the book is a longitudinal study of some 300 international students at a British university, a study that involves both quantitative and qualitative assessment. Retrospective comments of students who have completed their degrees are also presented here, as are descriptions of, and recommendations for, host institutions. The result is a rich interdisciplinary investigation of student motivations and adaptations.--Professor John Edwards, St Francis Xavier University and Dalhousie University Author InformationAlina Schartner is Lecturer in Applied Linguistics in the School of Education, Communication and Language Science at Newcastle University.
