Klappentext zu „Study Abroad and Second Language Use “
Language plays an essential role in how we portray our personalities. Through social interaction, others develop a picture of us based on our linguistic cues. However, when we interact in a foreign language and in a new country, limitations in linguistic and cultural knowledge can make self-presentation a more difficult task. This book explores the problems faced by language students embarking on 'study abroad' programmes, spending time in a foreign country and having to interact - and express their personalities - in a second language. Drawing on her extensive work with students, Valerie Pellegrino Aveni explores the factors that complicate self-presentation and the strategies students use for overcoming these, looking in particular at issues of anxiety, control, age, gender, risk-taking and self-esteem. Offering rich insights into the study abroad experience, this book will be an invaluable resource for professionals in second language acquisition, and for teachers and studentspreparing for study abroad.

'...interesting new insights into the nature of foreign language learning outside the classroom... the first full-full length monograph on study abroad... richly illustrated discussion of American learners' experiences in Russia... offers a pleasant change of pace and focus from the common-place discussions of identity construction by learners of English around the world.'
