Vestiges of monolingual bias can be traced in the way that study abroad is often portrayed as an idealised monolingual immersion experience: in reality it is often an inherently multilingual experience, and as a result many programs take steps to encourage or enforce target language monolingualism. This book addresses the need for a recognition of the multilingual reality 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.
