This book informs and encourages aspiring lecturers and teaching
staff in Modern Languages who prepare students for using their
language skills in and out of the classroom. Drawing on
pedagogical, psychological and language-specific concepts of
learning, the book illustrates how such concepts can enhance
students' experience of transitioning from school to university to
residence abroad, and beyond. A key feature of the study is an
investigation of students' fragility as they transition from school
to university and, only two years later, from their home
institution to their placements abroad. Interventions intended to
"teach" transition are shown to be unsuccessful, as the learning
through such interventions tends to remain superficial. First-year
students are shown to benefit from trust-building between students
and teachers and early networking among their peers to build
self-confidence. In contrast, prior to studying abroad students
benefit more from intercultural awareness training, including
linguistic, cultural, social, academic and/or emotional aspects.
The book serves as a useful basis for discussion in Modern
Languages departments about curriculum change and university policy
with regard to resourcing the Humanities.
