Sociocultural research has long recognized the necessity of sustained interpersonal interaction for language development. However, less is known about the underlying relationships that promote language acquisition and their relevance for language classrooms. Presenting cutting-edge research on social networks and their applications in language teaching, this book explores the relationships that mediate language learning in and out of classrooms. Highlighting the complexity of language in multilingual contexts, chapters engage social network analysis to understand the role of instructional practices, socialization, motivation, language status, online communications technology, and language policies in the development of social resources for language learning. Discussing popular language teaching frameworks such as translanguaging, Social Networks in Language Learning and Language Teaching provides a nuanced account of the influences of social context on language learning, exploring classroom applications and pointing the way to a robust research agenda.

Social networking is now one of the ways in which anyone can set out to learn or improve their language skills. This collection brings together different sets of learning experiences and shows that success depends on the wider environment of the learner, the kind of activity the learner engages in and the type of learning priorities he or she has.

Social Networking Approach to Japanese Language Teaching is a timely guide for Japanese language teachers and anyone interested in language pedagogy. The book outlines an innovative approach to language instruction which goes beyond the communicative approach and encourages a global view of language education and curriculum development through the use of social networking. It showcases diverse examples of how social networking can be harnessed and incorporated into everyday language classes to increase learners’ curiosity and engagement in real cultural and global interactions. While the focus is on Japanese language teaching, the concepts explored can be applied to other languages and teaching contexts. This book will benefit teachers of any language as well as linguists interested in language pedagogy.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: 14, , language: English, abstract: One of the longstanding problems in language acquisition is to have excellent level of language classroom interaction. Recent developments in this issue suggest that interaction must not exist only in the classroom and the learners must be given the opportunity to use the target language in different situations. Therefore, the present study aims at suggesting, identifying and describing tools in Social Network Sites that can foster Language Classroom Interaction. Given the sense of freedom and autonomy in building network of interaction embedded in social media, actually, Social Network Sites such as Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram are authentic resources and platforms to empower language classroom interaction if the sharing tools within are properly incorporated in a language class. In addition, Social Network Sites shape tools for life when comes to learn in the classroom and outside the classroom, because it presents tools that capacity learner in all aspects: cognitive, interactive and cooperative, and not forgetting learning skills. Furthermore, both learners and teachers, in Mozambican secondary schools have profiles in, at least, one of these Social Network Sites. The study shows that they generally access such sites for entertainment and sharing and never for learning. Among different reasons, lack of knowledge about the learning tools within social networks and low creativity and innovation in teaching are decisive to low exploitability of the tools. The research consists of both qualitative and quantitative methods and the data result from observations, questionnaires and interviews techniques set in Social Network Sites, especially Facebook to bring reliable and verifiable samples of the data analyzed. The research demonstrates how relevant the Social Network Sites are for Language Classroom Interaction and language acquisition. Furthermore, an awareness of these tools can possibly be significant to educational contexts to encourage language learners to interact and collaborate with each other and with native speakers of the target language through a number of online communication tools such as chat walls, videos conference, etc., provided by these platforms.

New technologies are constantly transforming traditional notions of language use and literacy in online communication environments. While previous research has provided a foundation for understanding the use of new technologies in instructed second language environments, few studies have investigated new literacies and electronic discourse beyond the classroom setting. This volume seeks to address this gap by providing corpus-based and empirical studies of electronic discourse analyzing social and linguistic variation as well as communicative practices in chat, discussion forums, blogs, and podcasts. Several chapters also examine the assessment and integration of new literacies. This volume will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students interested in exploring electronic discourse and new literacies in language learning and teaching.

The use of technological tools to foster language development has led to advances in language methodologies and changed the approach towards language instruction. The tendency towards developing more autonomous learners has emphasized the need for technological tools that could contribute to this shift in foreign language learning. Computer-assisted language learning and mobile-assisted language learning have greatly collaborated to foster language instruction out of the classroom environment, offering possibilities for distance learning and expanding in-class time. Recent Tools for Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning is a scholarly research book that explores current strategies for foreign language learning through the use of technology and introduces new technological tools and evaluates existing ones that foster language development. Highlighting a wide array of topics such as gamification, mobile technologies, and virtual reality, this book is essential for language educators, educational software developers, IT consultants, K-20 institutions, principals, professionals, academicians, researchers, curriculum designers, and students.

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.
