...this truly global book critiques a monolingual bias all too present across the academy—especially in study abroad program offerings for students [...] Having directed a faculty-led study abroad program for more than 20 years, this reviewer found the chapters timely and relevant with a solid theoretical grounding. The concluding chapter directly addresses next steps, and this reviewer was pleased to see the inclusion of the section on race and ethnicity as a key theme of this book. An excellent resource for faculty planning and/or leading study abroad programs in fields across the spectrum of higher education.

«This compelling book ushers research on language learning in study abroad into a new era of commitment to social justice. Countering the myth of monolingual immersion, exploring the multilingual realities of student experiences and expanding the contexts under investigation, the volume will be a landmark contribution to the field.»
