Abstract:

This book investigates the impact of language learning and study
abroad on the career options and choices of US-based alumni of all
ages. It reports on the results of a mixed-methods study which used
both an extensive nationwide survey and qualitative life history
interviews with 54 participants systematically selected to represent a
broad range of backgrounds and professions. International education
experiences are shown to exert considerable influence on the
aspirations and career paths of individuals in a wide variety of
fields (e.g. education, healthcare, business, government service). The
long-term benefits of language study are illustrated both in
narratives from individuals whose work requires proficiency beyond
English and from participant comments on improvement in their use of
English for international communication. The book will be of relevance
to a wide audience of international education professionals in
addition to researchers and students in applied linguistics and
language education.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics

Written In: English (eng)
