«This remarkable book represents a real tour de force. Through their thoughtful, comprehensive and sociohistorically contextualized approach, Kinginger and Zhuang have managed to paint a much more nuanced picture of the value of Study Abroad (SA) than heretofore achieved in Applied Linguistics. Their surveys and interviews of some 11,000 Anglophone alumni of American SA programs abroad offer credible and powerful insights into students’ motivations, experiences abroad and post-SA life trajectories.»
