      abstract = {Although both school-university transitions and  cross-border transitions have been widely explored,  comparatively little research has been conducted on those  students who undergo both transitions at the same time.  This book reports on a longitudinal qualitative study  investigating the major issues faced by nine Mainland  Chinese students during their first year at a Hong Kong  university from the perspective of learner autonomy. It  argues that the school-university transition is especially  challenging for students going through a cross-border  transition at the same time, which usually involves a  linguistic and cultural adjustment, and challenges their  autonomy in three domains: managing their personal lives;  academic learning; and English learning.},
