Recenzii

This is an excellent compendium of research on study abroad. The variety of theoretical perspectives employed and the methodological diversity exhibited provide a richness that many other edited volumes lack. The authors provide solid justification of their methodological choices and demonstrate academic rigor that is both informative and instructive, making this volume an excellent resource for graduate student coursework in SLA and/or foreign language education.Lisa DeWaard Dykstra, Linguist List 17.2191Illustrating diverse approaches to the study of language socialization and acquisition, this volume will surely become a key reference for applied linguistics research on education abroad, the most celebrated and least understood among environments for language learning. Professor Celeste Kinginger, Department of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies & Department of French and Francophone Studies, Pennsylvania State University
