Abstract:

Study abroad is now both an international industry and an experience that can
have a deep impact on students’ linguistic, cultural and personal development.
This book explores ‘the social turn’ in the fields of study abroad and
language learning strategies. The longitudinal qualitative study reported in
this volume investigates the international educational experiences of Arab
university students from diverse countries (Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Saudi Arabia,
Syria and the United Arab Emirates) and represents one of the few empirical
studies to capture an in-depth understanding of the study abroad experiences
of newly-arrived international students in higher education. Particular
attention is paid to their changing learning goals, underlying motivations and
strategy uses during their attendance on both short and long academic
programmes in a study abroad context. It also examines their past language
learning experiences in their homelands retrospectively. Readers will gain a
better understanding of international students’ study abroad experiences in
terms of their expectations, aspirations, diverse difficulties and the
strategies they deploy to deal with these difficulties.
