    Transforming Study Abroad : A Handbook (2018)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781789201161
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 232 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Study Abroad, International Education, Educational Studies, Cultural Immersion, International Students, Global Students
    Abstract: Written for study abroad practitioners, this book introduces theoretical understandings of key study abroad terms including ́the global/national,́ ́culture,́ ́native speaker,́ ́immersion,́ and ́host society.́ Building theories on these notions with perspectives from cultural anthropology, political science, educational studies, linguistics, and narrative studies, it suggests ways to incorporate them in study abroad practices. Through attention to daily activities via the concept of immersion, it reframes study abroad not as an encounter with cultural others but as an occasion to analyze constructions of ́differenceś in daily life, backgrounded by structural arrangements.
