This volume presents an innovative approach to understanding the
language socialization process of second language learners in study
abroad programs, focusing on the case of study abroad programs in
Japan. Study abroad experiences are so diverse that both macro and
micro viewpoints are needed to capture such complexity. This book
looks for a way forward by adopting a novel approach which
integrates social network analysis and conversation nalysis and
allows for a fuller, more nuanced understanding of varying
experiences of study abroad participants. Chapters draw on data
from a wide range of sources, including participant observation,
semi-structured interviews, social network surveys, and audio and
visual recordings, to demonstrate the ways in which broader social
forces, environmental factors, and individuals' dispositions
interact in myriad social contexts within the study abroad
experience. Taken together, the volume offers readers a
comprehensive portrait of social processes in study abroad programs
and their implications for language development, making this key
reading for students and scholars in second language acquisition,
pragmatics, and applied linguistics.
