This volume is the first to explore links between the Russian
linguist Mikhail Bakhtin's theoretical insights about language and
practical concerns with second and foreign language learning and
teaching. Situated within a strong conceptual framework and drawing
from a rich empirical base, it reflects recent scholarship in
applied linguistics that has begun to move away from formalist
views of language as universal, autonomous linguistic systems, and
toward an understanding of language as dynamic collections of
cultural resources. According to Bakhtin, the study of language is
concerned with the dialogue existing between linguistic elements
and the uses to which they are put in response to the conditions of
the moment. Such a view of language has significant implications
for current understandings of second- and foreign-language
learning. The contributors draw on some of Bakhtin's more
significant concepts, such as dialogue, utterance, heteroglossia,
voice, and addressivity to examine real world contexts of language
learning. The chapters address a range of contexts including
elementary- and university-level English as a second language and
foreign language classrooms and adult learning situations outside
the formal classroom. The text is arranged in two parts. Part I,
"Contexts of Language Learning and Teaching," contains seven
chapters that report on investigations into specific contexts of
language learning and teaching. The chapters in Part II,
"Implications for Theory and Practice," present broader discussions
on second and foreign language learning using Bakhtin's ideas as a
springboard for thinking. This is a groundbreaking volume for
scholars in applied linguistics, language education, and language
studies with an interest in second and foreign language learning;
for teacher educators; and for teachers of languages from
elementary to university levels. It is highly relevant as a text
for graduate-level courses in applied linguistics and second- and
foreign-language education.
