Review: "This book explores the problems faced by language students embarking on "study-abroad" programs, 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 students preparing for study abroad."--Jacket.Review: "This book explores the problems faced by language students embarking on "study-abroad" programs, spending time in a foreign country and having to interact - and express their personalities - in a second language.
