Study Abroad and Second Language Use: Constructing the Self Book

Language plays an essential role in how we portray our personalities. However, when we interact in a foreign language and in a new country, limitations in linguistic and cultural knowledge make self-presentation a more difficult task. This book explores the problems faced by language students embarking on 'study abroad' programmes, looking at factors that complicate self-presentation and how students overcome these. Offering rich insights into the study abroad experience, it will be an invaluable resource for professionals in second language acquisition, and for teachers and students preparing for study abroad.Read More
