Ying Shan Doris Zhang; Kimberly A. Noels – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024

Biying Wu; Jindong Liu – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Quantitative research on the linguistic acculturation of sojourners in non-Western and multilingual social contexts remains scarce. Revising the Framework of Acculturation Variables (FAV), we propose a parsimonious model exploring the effect of acculturation conditions (trilingual language usage and perceived discrimination), orientations (social…

Ladegaard, Hans J. – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2017

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…

Young, Tony J.; Schartner, Alina – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014
The recent increase in the provision of cross- and intercultural education for sojourners has not been matched by commensurate research into its effects on participants. Evaluation, where undertaken at all, has been largely confined to expatriate business contexts and has tended to be undertaken pre-sojourn. Crucially, evaluation has not engaged…

Spencer-Oatey, Helen; Dauber, Daniel – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2017
According to a recent report, the top skill that employers are looking for in graduates is an ability to work collaboratively with teams of people from a range of backgrounds and countries. So as universities seek to internationalise, an important question is how successful they are in developing this skill. Both research and anecdotal evidence…

Moore, Emilee; Patiño-Santos, Adriana – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2014
This paper studies the situated meaning given to a so-called "welcome" service for international students at a Catalan university.
