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.
Interesting, topical and up-to-date, Close-Up is a four-level B1 /
C1 course which makes English come alive through spectacular
National Geographic photography and facts carefully selected to
appeal to the inquisitive minds of young teenagers.
Thematically-based, Close-Up provides a plethora of interesting and
diverse reading texts guaranteed to appeal to this age-group, while
providing a springboard for the development of language skills
required to communicate effectively about the world around us.

Haikus and Home Truths Started on a trip to Japan, as a way of
using the sleepless jet-lagged nights, composing haikus became
something of an obsession. Gradually the idea formed for using the
vehicle of the haiku poem to take a heart-journey, from a
travelogue, charting the trip of a lifetime, to an inner journey of
reflection. This illustrated collection invites the reader to
travel with the author, to ponder, perhaps to smile, and to
discover the versatility of this classic Japanese poetic form.
