Abstract:

This book argues for a view of study abroad as emergent of, and
negotiated through, tensions between localised and globalised
imaginaries of language, identity and place. By examining the
experiences of a group of Japanese high school students during, and
after, a year embedded in families and schools abroad in countries
across Europe, Asia and North and South America, it provides the first
in-depth exploration of the role of mobile communications technology
in study abroad. This includes its facilitation of strategic language
learning, host community participation and the construction of
multilingual identities. The student accounts covered in this book
explore a number of other critical issues in contemporary study
abroad, including translanguaging practices, racialised identities,
the role of the host family and the status of English as a lingua
franca in multilingual environments. The results demonstrate the
importance of understanding study abroad and related language learning
as intersecting with global flows of people and information.
