Title: Book: Foreign Language Learning and Use: Interaction in Informal Social Networks
Body: From http://www.continuumbooks.com/books/detail.aspx?BookId=169398&SearchType=Basic Foreign Language Learning and Use: Interaction in Informal Social Networks by Naomi Kurata Published by Continuum Description: It is commonly believed that foreign language skills improve through social interaction with speakers of the language. However, there is little research addressing the issue of access to such interaction. This book explores this issue, examining longitudinal case studies of interaction between language learners and speakers of the target language within their informal social networks. It looks at the complex social and personal factors that influence language choice. Kurata reveals that even for motivated learners opportunities to use the target language are limited, and suggests factors that promote language use and opportunities for learning. She proposes ways around obstacles to opportunities for second language use and second language learning and sets out important implications for language learning in and outside classrooms. A central implication is the necessity for educators to increase their awareness about their students' self-image as an L2 user. The book features Japanese as the target language under discussion but the results are widely applicable in other language contexts, particularly in English-speaking countries.

Title: Book: Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847698049 Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning by Carmen Muñoz Published by Multilingual Matters Summary: This volume brings together studies dealing with second language learning in contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language. In doing so, it highlights the role of intensive exposure as a critical distinctive characteristic in the comparison of learning processes and outcomes from different learning contexts: naturalistic and foreign language instruction, stay abroad and at home, and extensive and intensive instruction programs. The different chapters represent a wide range of learning contexts and types of learning, as well as different approaches that yield much needed evidence on the role of context of acquisition in second language learning.
