Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the experiences of foreign language students in study abroad programs, this book delves into how such cultural exchanges influence their self-identity and perceptions of language and culture. It examines factors that affect students' willingness to engage socially using the target language and introduces the concept of "intercultural personhood," a hybrid identity that promotes openness and acceptance of diversity. By linking contemporary sociocultural theories with real-life experiences, it offers valuable insights for professionals in various fields related to language and intercultural communication.
