Description:
Transnational mobility is a normative aspect of life for millions of people.
Reasons for mobility are manifold. They include study, work, adventure and
refuge. Transnational mobility is encouraged in education with UNESCO
estimating that more than 5 million higher-level students study abroad (''UIS
Statistics'' n.d.). The internationalisation of education is supported by
organisations such as Erasmus+, the Institute of International Education, and
Science without Frontiers; however, this represents a small proportion of
those engaged in mobility. 

Hence, mobility experiences are numerous, but are often underpinned by the
common denominator of the need to conduct everyday life through a second or
subsequent language and, in tandem, the struggle to negotiate an identity.
However, research has focused on students of languages and their linguistic
gains. This focus on institutionally sanctioned experiences of transnational
mobility has resulted in the overlooking of the full range of rationales for
mobility. Such rationales, or status in the host community (Magliacane 2017;
Barron 2019), play a crucial role in language and identity development because
of the differential opportunities for L2 contact and use (Magliacane & Howard
2019: 74). 
Notwithstanding, the importance of the identity during mobility has been
gaining traction (Anya 2017; Benson, Barkhuizen, Bodycott, & Brown 2012; Block
2006; Devlin 2018; Iwasaki 2018; Jackson 2008; Kinginger 2013; Mitchell,
Tracy-Ventura & McManus 2015; Norton 2000). Learners' access to the language
is not just shaped by their desire for acquisition ''but also by those of the
others with whom they interact'' (Kinginger 2004: 221). However, the
imposition of identities is not always unidirectional as L2 users may also
impose identities on the residents of the host environment. Additionally,
state policies and political climates can act as a barrier or a conduit to the
negotiation of L2 identities.
This special issue aims to broaden the range of mobility contexts by looking
beyond the experience of institutional learners while simultaneously
illuminating identity negotiation. Issues to be considered (but not limited
to): linguistic enactment of identity, perceptions of identity; the impact of
language policies on L2 identities, the shaping of L2 identities in
differential political climates, the role of status and L2 identities in
language development.
