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.
