Chapters present studies of learners in different geographical contexts, with different first and second language combinations. The studies draw on different methodologies, incorporating quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method approaches.  Presenting findings with implications for learner preparation, expectations and support during study abroad, and highlighting developmental issues within second language acquisition, \u003ci\u003eStudy Abroad and the Second Language Learner\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to all study abroad and second language acquisition researchers, as wel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume provides both practical advice and necessary correction to the often-touted claim that studying abroad will lead to better proficiency than had the student remained at the home institution, taking comparable language courses. In doing so, this volume provides invaluable direction for program coordinators and students alike in bridging the gap between the myth of guaranteed language proficiency and the reality that students face while studying abroad. * LINGUIST List *\u003cbr\u003eOffering an in-depth and fascinating insight into student expectations of study abroad, study abroad experiences and linguistic and intercultural development during study abroad, this edited volume represents a treasure of innovative scholarship. A must-read for stay abroad and second language acquisition researchers, as also for program organisers and language instructors! * Anne Barron, Professor of English Linguistics, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany *\u003cbr\u003eThis research-inspired volume makes a valuable contribution to the literature on study abroad (SA), raising awareness of the multifarious individual and external elements that can affect learner development (e.g., second language acquisition, identity, intercultural competence) in diverse SA programmes in various parts of the world. * Jane Jackson, Professor Emerita, The Chinese University of Hong Kong *\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent new contribution to study abroad research, covering experiences of specialist and non-specialist language learners. The focus on expectations and experience is especially welcome as we move away from a narrow focus on language gains to a more nuanced understanding of individual development in study abroad. * Phil Benson, Professor of Applied Linguistics, Macquarie University, Australia *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors Acknowledgements Study Abroad and the Second Language Learner: An Introduction, \u003ci\u003eMartin Howard\u003c\/i\u003e 1.
