Title: Book: Second Language Identity in Narratives of Study Abroad
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=590896 Second Language Identity in Narratives of Study Abroad By Phil Benson, Gary Barkhuizen, Peter Bodycott and Jill Brown Published by Palgrave Macmillan Study abroad is now both an international industry and an experience that can have a deep impact on students' attitudes and approaches to second language learning. Narratives of Second Language Identity in Study Abroad brings together three important research areas by exploring the impact of study abroad on second language identities through narrative research. It outlines a new model of second language identity that incorporates a range of language and personal competencies. The three main dimensions of this model are explored in chapters that begin with students' study abroad narratives, followed by the authors' in-depth analysis. Further chapters use narratives to assess the impact of program type and individual difference. Arguing that second language identity development is one of the more important outcomes of study abroad, the book concludes with recommendations on how study abroad programs can best achieve this outcome.

Title: 2013 Second Language Research Forum
Body: From http://ce.byu.edu/cw/slrf/index.php 2013 Second Language Research Forum October 31-November 2 Brigham Young University, Utah Second language (L2) acquisition has been called a “natural” phenomenon, but is it natural socially, biologically or cognitively? Recent research suggests that language is a “complex adaptive system” involving cognitive, social and innate mechanisms, which all interact, adapt, and develop in complex ways (Ellis and Larsen-Freeman, 2009). Whether or not researchers adhere to this notion, there is little dispute that language is complex and affected by the context in which it occurs and the communication of ideas between people. Thus, this conference welcomes research that investigates the complexity of L2 acquisition, the contexts in which it is learned, and the communication it creates. Registration is open.
