Xi Wu; Paul Tarc – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024

Quantitative research on the linguistic acculturation of sojourners in non-Western and multilingual social contexts remains scarce.

Ladegaard, Hans J. – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2017
Recent research has shown that increasing the number of international students and staff in universities does not necessarily make the campus more "international". Ladegaard and Cheng (2014) found that local and non-local students live completely separate lives on campus and do not work together, let alone socialise, unless forced to do…

Ng, Dana Funywe; Zhao, Juanjuan – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2015
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has often been considered a monolithic, monolingual state but, in fact, it is linguistically and culturally diverse.
