Produktbeschreibung

The participation of international students in study-abroad programmes in Asia is steadily increasing. This comprehensive volume captures the intricate dynamics of language learning and intercultural engagement in study-abroad contexts.

The chapters cover a wide array of important topics, such as identity reconstruction, interculturality, employability, challenges and opportunities of studying at English-medium universities, the experiences of learning languages other than English in host countries, and pedagogical interventions to enhance language learning and intercultural engagement across diverse Asian contexts. The authors share their empirical findings and conceptual insights to enrich our understanding of the complex and dynamic relationship between language, cultural learning, and identity reconstruction.

This book is an authoritative resource for scholars and researchers in study-abroad, intercultural communication, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language education.
