Benny Lewis, who speaks over ten languages—all self-taught—runs the largest language-learning blog in the world, Fluent In 3 Months. Lewis is a full-time "language hacker," someone who devotes all of his time to finding better, faster, and more efficient ways to learn languages. Fluent in 3 Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World is a new blueprint for fast language learning. Lewis argues that you don't need a great memory or "the language gene" to learn a language quickly, and debunks a number of long-held beliefs, such as adults not being as good of language learners as children.
Arguments arise in the course of everyday interactions when one speaker disagrees with something that another speaker has said. The argument discourse of native speakers of a language has been investigated extensively (Muntigl and Turnbull, 1998; Pomerantz, 1984; Schiffrin, 1985). However, only a limited number of empirical studies have examined argument interactions produced by second language (L2) learners, and L2 Spanish in particular is under investigated (Beebe and Takahashi, 1989; Cordella, 1996; Salsbury and Bardovi-Harlig, 2000, 2001). This dissertation addresses the extent to which L2 Spanish learners are able to approximate native speakers in their argument discourse. It focuses on practices that are integral to one's ability to successfully negotiate arguments: linguistic mitigation and participation behaviors. In order to address this problem, conversational data were collected from 46 participants who completed two quasi-experimental protocols that were designed to elicit arguments: a prompted ranking conversation and a cooperative film narration. The analysis of the conversational data employed a mixed methods approach. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were triangulated with data generated by a metalinguistic protocol. The study revealed that L2 Spanish learners are able to fully participate in conversational arguments, employing a variety of mitigating devices, but that they are not entirely target-like. That is, the analyses revealed that the L2 learners are felicitous in their use of mitigation to downgrade negative statements, but they tend to use a single mitigating device redundantly, whereas the native speakers draw on a broad repertoire of linguistic forms to fulfill most mitigating functions. The significance of the study lies in advancing our knowledge of interlanguage pragmatics research by examining argument discourse in L2 Spanish, a problem that is largely under investigated. It sheds light on the patterns and tendencies that emerge among distinct L2 learner and native speaker groups in the context of arguments produced in a university-institutional setting.

This volume represents the first collection of empirical studies focusing on peer interaction for L2 learning. These studies aim to unveil the impact of mediating variables such as task type, mode of interaction, and social relationships on learners’ interactional behaviors and language development in this unique and pedagogically powerful learning context. To examine these issues, contributors employed quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs as well as cognitive, social, and sociocognitive theoretical frameworks. The majority of the studies are classroom based and were conducted in a rich array of settings covering five continents and encompassing a wide range of learner L1s and target languages. These settings include second and foreign language classrooms from primary to university level, content-based programs, online contexts, and after-school programs. To span the divide between research and practice, each study includes a section suggesting pedagogical implications.
