It employs phenomenological narrative inquiry and a small culture approach to investigate the evolved, fluid experience of pursuing a graduate degree in the U.S. at Blue Fountain University (a pseudonym for a mid-western university). Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this book addresses two fundamental questions: What study abroad is and what study abroad counts? The sociocultural dimensions that shape the cross-border degree seeking endeavors inform stakeholders what works for Chinese international students? successful pursuits as EFL learners and ESL users and what could be improved. This book shares thoughts on the implications and impact of educational contexts to stakeholders at normal and dynamic contexts interrupted by global pandemic outbreak. It contributes to the understanding of the internationalization of the host institute and the EFL education reform efforts (policy making, teacher education, and classroom practice) in China (and in Asia at large). 410 0$aEducation in the Asia-Pacific region ;$vv. 56. 606 $aStudents, Foreign$zUnited States 606 $aChinese students$zUnited States 606 $aLanguage and education 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation, Higher 615 0$aStudents, Foreign 615 0$aChinese students 615 0$aLanguage and education. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 676 $a371.829951073 700 $aZhou$b Yalun$01074136 702 $aWei$b Michael$f1968- 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483878203321 996 $aThe lived experience of Chinese international students in the U.S$92571496 997 $aUNINA
