"Intercultural Interventions in Study Abroad delivers an up-to-date and informative examination of study abroad research. The content of the chapters is sufficiently scaffolded so that those unfamiliar with study abroad research can gain a broad understanding of the key concepts and essential theoretical frameworks underpinning many of the current studies in the field. Aside from satisfying research-related aspirations, the book also provides a good deal of practical advice on how to improve the quality of study abroad programs by implicating tasks and activities intended to enhance the benefits of the study abroad experience. In sum, this book is a worthwhile read for researchers, teachers, and administrators who seek to deepen their knowledge of study abroad research, especially in a second-language learning environment." - Kris Ramonda, JALT Journal
