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 media are applications that have a networking dimension at
the heart of their use. They attract language learners, teachers
and providers for different reasons, although they are a
controversial issue in language education as we lack evidence
whether and how they promote language learning. This book studies
the impact of networking with the social media on language
learning, through a collection of chapters offering theoretical
perspectives and empirical studies of learner experiences in a wide
range of networking settings, illustrating through a variety of
teaching as well as research methodologies. Through focusing on
communities and socialization, together the editors and
contributors help to identify priority issues (such as identity and
community-building) that need attention if today's social media
culture is to work to the benefit of language learners.
