Second Language Use Online and its Integration in Formal Language Learning
This book explores the relationship between online second
language (L2) communicative activities and formal language
learning. It provides empirical evidence of the scale of L2 English
use online, investigating the forms most commonly used, the
activities likely to cause discomfort and the challenges
experienced by users, and takes a critical approach to the nature
of language online beyond the paradigms of 'written' versus
'spoken'. The author explores the possibilities for language
teaching practices that engage with and integrate learners' L2
English online use, not only to support it but to use it as input
for classroom learning and to enhance and exploit its incidental
learning outcomes. This book will be of interest to postgraduate
students and researchers interested in computer-mediated
communication, online discourse and Activity Theory, while language
teachers will find the practical ideas for lesson content
invaluable as they strive to create a successful language learning
community.

Multimodal Literacies and Emerging Genres
A student's avatar navigates a virtual world and communicates the desires, emotions, and fears of its creator. Yet, how can her writing instructor interpret this formof meaningmaking?Today, multiple modes of communication and information technology are challenging pedagogies in composition and across the disciplines. Writing instructors grapple with incorporating new forms into their curriculums and relating them to established literary practices. Administrators confront the application of new technologies to the restructuring of courses and the classroom itself.Multimodal Literacies and Emerging Genresexamines the possibilities, challenges, and realities of mutimodal composition as an effective means of communication. The chapters view the ways that writing instructors and their students are exploring the spaces where communication occurs, while also asking \"what else is possible.\" The genres of film, audio, photography, graphics, speeches, storyboards, PowerPoint presentations, virtual environments, written works, and others are investigated to discern both their capabilities and limitations. The contributors highlight the responsibility of instructors to guide students in the consideration of their audience and ethical responsibility, while also maintaining the ability to \"speak well.\" Additionally, they focus on the need for programmatic changes and a shift in institutional philosophy to close a possible \"digital divide\" and remain relevant in digital and global economies.Embracing and advancing multimodal communication is essential to both higher education and students. The contributors therefore call for the examination of how writing programs, faculty, and administrators are responding to change, and how the many purposes writing serves can effectively converge within composition curricula.
