This volume presents an innovative approach to understanding the language socialization process of second language learners in study abroad programs, focusing on the case of study abroad programs in Japan.
"[This book] expands the scope of the burgeoning literature on language learners' social lives during SA by focusing on the processes of the learners' development of interactional repertoires and the negotioation of their interpersonal relationships.
We hope this commendable volume will be a useful reference book for researchers, SA program administrators, and school instructors who take an interest in IHE policy enactment and enforcement."
