Language Learning, Digital Communications and Study Abroad: Identity and Belonging in Translocal Contexts

This book argues for a view of study abroad as emergent of tensions between localised and globalised imaginaries of language, identity, and place. It offers the first in-depth exploration of mobile technology’s role in language learning and identity formation during study abroad.
