2021 The impact of a short-term stay abroad on L2 Spanish syntactic complexity development in narratives Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education 6:1, pp. 163–188 | Article
Given the notable increase in participation in short-term (e.g., eight weeks or less) study abroad, especially in the US, recent empirical work on the role of context in second language (L2) learning has sought to investigate the impact of a short-term stay abroad on language development. The… read more
