Language Learning in Study Abroad : The Multilingual Turn Hardback
Edited by Wenhao Diao, Emma Trentman
Part of the New Perspectives on Language and Education series
Hardback
Description
Vestiges of monolingual bias are present in the portrayal of study abroad as an idealized monolingual immersion experience and the steps many programs take to encourage or enforce target language monolingualism.
In reality, study abroad is often inherently multilingual.
This book addresses the need for a recognition of the multilingual realities of study abroad across a variety of traditional and non-traditional national contexts and target languages.
The chapters examine multilingual socialization and translanguaging with peers, local hosts and instructors; how the target language is necessarily entwined in global, local and historical contexts; and how students negotiate the use of local and global varieties of English.
Together the chapters present a powerful argument for scholars and study abroad practitioners to consider and critically incorporate multilingual realities into their research and planning.
