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.
