Vestiges of monolingual bias are present in the portrayal of study
abroad as an idealized monolingual immersion experience and the
steps many programs take to encourage or enforce target language
monolingualism. In reality, study abroad is often inherently
multilingual. This book addresses the need for a recognition of the
multilingual realities of study abroad across a variety of
traditional and non-traditional national contexts and target
languages. The chapters examine multilingual socialization and
translanguaging with peers, local hosts and instructors; how the
target language is necessarily entwined in global, local and
historical contexts; and how students negotiate the use of local
and global varieties of English. Together the chapters present a
powerful argument for scholars and study abroad practitioners to
consider and critically incorporate multilingual realities into
their research and planning.
