Title: Book: Language Policies and (Dis)Citizenship
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783090181 Language Policies and (Dis)Citizenship: Rights, Access, Pedagogies By Vaidehi Ramanathan Published by Multilingual Matters This volume explores the concept of ‘citizenship’, and argues that it should be understood both as a process of becoming and the ability to participate fully, rather than as a status that can be inherited, acquired, or achieved. From a courtroom in Bulawayo to a nursery in Birmingham, the authors use local contexts to foreground how the vulnerable, particularly those from minority language backgrounds, continue to be excluded, whilst offering a powerful demonstration of the potential for change offered by individual agency, resistance and struggle. In addressing questions such as ‘under what local conditions does ""dis-citizenship"" happen?’; ‘what role do language policies and pedagogic practices play?’ and ‘what kinds of margins and borders keep humans from fully participating’? The chapters in this volume shift the debate away from visas and passports to more uncertain and contested spaces of interpretation.

Title: Book: The Acquisition of the German Case System by Foreign Language Learners
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/palart.2/main The Acquisition of the German Case System by Foreign Language Learners By Kristof Baten Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company This is the first book on the acquisition of the German case system by foreign language learners. It explores how learners in their interlanguage progress from the total absence to the presence of a case system. This development is characterized by an evolvement from marking the argument’s position to marking the argument’s actual function. Theoretically couched within Processability Theory, the book deals with the feature unification and the mapping processes involved in case marking, and critically examines previous findings on German case acquisition. Empirically, the book consists of longitudinal data of 11 foreign language learners of German, which was collected over a period of 2 years. This book will be useful to anyone interested in the acquisition of German and in the acquisition of case systems in general.

Title: Book: Social and Cultural Aspects of Language Learning in Study Abroad
Body: From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/lllt.37/main Social and Cultural Aspects of Language Learning in Study Abroad Edited by Celeste Kinginger Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company The papers in this volume offer a sampling of contemporary efforts to update the portrayal of study abroad in the applied linguistics literature through attention to its social and cultural aspects. The volume illustrates diversification of theory and method, refinement of approaches to social interactive language use, and expansion in the range of populations and languages under scrutiny. Part I offers a topical orientation, outlining the rationale for the project. Part II presents six qualitative case studies adopting sociocultural, activity theoretical, postructuralist, or discourse analytic methodologies. The four chapters in Part III illustrate a variety of approaches and foci in research on the pragmatic capabilities of study abroad participants in relation to second language identities. The volume will be of interest to a broad audience of applied linguistics researchers, language educators, and professionals engaged in the design, oversight, and assessment of study abroad programs.
