<br>
</span><span lang="EN-GB">We are putting together a proposal for a Special Issue entitled “<b>What’s the point of Study Abroad? Challenges and opportunities for Study Abroad research post-pandemic</b>” to be submitted to
<a href="https://euroslajournal.org/">JESLA – The Journal of EuroSLA</a> and we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for the Special Issue.

</span><b><i><span lang="EN-GB">Description of the Special Issue</span></i></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN"><br>
</span><span lang="EN-GB">The present and future of Study Abroad (SA) transnational mobility research is at a crossroad – the recent explosion in SA research has highlighted the individualised nature of SA, challenging both persistent naive myths around native-speaker
norms for language learning, and stereotyped assumptions about cross-cultural experiences. Post-pandemic, and with rising costs of living, the contexts and opportunities for SA have been disrupted. Therefore, fresh scientifically-informed insights into the
challenges and benefits of SA-focused transnational mobility remain important to explore for an increasingly globalised, hybrid and superdiverse world.
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN"><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-GB">With this in mind, the proposed special issue aims to broaden the focus on transnational mobility by focusing on the challenges and new opportunities that a post-pandemic world is offering.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN"><br>
