“…This approach could include biographical research (see Roberts [2002] for more information), be multi-sited (such as the LANGSNAP project [2013]), and follow the students back home to continue post-SA research. King & Raghuram (2013) also invite researchers to delve into the available survey data and other datasets and carry out statistical analyses, improve theorization of student mobility (e.g., Coleman 2013bColeman , 2015Xiao & Wray 2016), and include gendered analysis to explain the dynamics of SA experiences (e.g., Trentman 2015; King & Sondhi 2016). Jensen & Howard (2014: 32) highlight that 'while SA has proven to be highly beneficial in certain areas, such as fluency, sociolinguistic competence and lexical development, it appears to have a less positive effect on grammatical development compared to the classroom setting.'…”

The aim of this review is to synthesize empirical studies on undergraduate language learners' experience abroad during a time period of a year or less. To help provide a framework to this synthesis, we begin our review by tracing the recent evolution of empirical mixed-method research on the learner, identifying problems and characteristics that language learners generally encounter in the study abroad (SA) experience. We take a closer look at variables related to individual difference such as anxiety, motivation, and attitudes to more recent views of learner identity in language learning. We highlight the shift to language learner agency, a topic that merits more discussion in SA literature. We then review how the SA learning environments are treated. This review takes a closer look at research informed by socially grounded theories. Finally, we review the role that SA plays in undergraduate language curricula, where the objectives of the experience are aligned with at-home (AH) curricula, a topic that has not been fully discussed in SA literature. The conclusions offer suggestions for keeping pace with the broader field of applied/educational linguistics.

“…Böttcher et al 2016;Ramos 2009). Moreover, they suggest that female students tend to pursue international student mobility as a way of escaping highly patriarchal societies (Brooks and Waters 2011;King and Sondhi 2016). Last, to our knowledge, there is not comprehensive analysis on race inequality and international student mobility.…”

This paper aims to understand the effect of international mobility in higher education on Brazilian education inequality by examining the Science Without Borders programme for undergraduate students. The SWB aimed to award 101,000 scholarships for Brazilian undergraduate students to conduct part of their studies in a foreign university between 2011 and 2015. This paper draws on research on education inequalities and international mobility to investigate the patterns of inequality among undergraduate students participating in the SWB, considering the period of higher education expansion in Brazil. Using the ENEM datasets, inequality of access and inequality within the programme were analysed. The results show that students with parents with higher levels of education and higher income were more likely to participate in the SWB programme. Moreover, students with higher parental education and family income tended to study at a prestigious university during the programme.

“…With this in mind, it is not surprising that the last 5 years has seen a particular expansion of the field (e.g. Beech 2015; Prazeres 2017; King and Sondhi 2018;Yang 2018). That being said, it is still a relatively peripheral subject, at least within most social scientific disciplines.…”

Social isolation has been a central focus within international student research, especially with regard to international/host national relations. While a worthy area of study, we argue that the sheer volume of such research stems from the fact that universities' recruitment of foreign students is often justified by the claim that a more international campus will engender crosscultural skills. The main argument of this paper is that, from this perspective, the Bpoint^of such sojourns is seen as social, and any lack of interaction becomes problematic. This is an intellectually respectable position, but it is problematic that it has come to dominate the field to such a degree that the students' own experiences and goals are rarely heard. This paper calls for a de-muting of international students in research, so that more research is oriented by their stated priorities. While there has been a shift in this regard around the turn of the millennium, presumptions as to the purpose of educational sojourns remain and continue to colour research.
