Riassunto

Written for study abroad practitioners, this book approaches key study abroad concepts – such as “culture”, “native speaker”, and “immersion” – from a number of theoretical perspectives, and considers study abroad not as an encounter with cultural others, but as an occasion to analyze constructions of “differences” in daily life.
