Dear colleagues,

We are putting together a proposal for a Special Issue entitled
“What’s the point of Study Abroad? Challenges and opportunities for
Study Abroad research post-pandemic” to be submitted to JESLA – The
Journal of EuroSLA and we would like to invite you to submit an
abstract for the Special Issue.

Description of the Special Issue
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.

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.

Authors are invited to submit a proposal of max 400 words to the guest
editors (see below) by the EXTENDED DEADLINE of 19 January 2024.

Issues to be considered include but are not limited to:

•            Linguistic diversity in transnational mobility
•            Identity and individual differences
•            Turning research and practice into impact
•            Methodological innovations in SA research
•            Online communication & virtual mobility
•            Sojourn preparation programmes
•            Language development and language engagement while abroad

Key dates

19 January 2024: **EXTENDED DEADLINE** submission of a 400-word
abstract  to the guest editors
Late January 2024: notification of acceptance of the Special Issue
Proposal
March 2024: submission of the article (7500-8500 words)
March-September 2025: publication of the Special Issue

We look forward to receiving your abstract. Please feel free to get in
touch if you have any questions.
Have a lovely Christmas break and a wonderful start of the new year!
