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.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: 14, , language: English, abstract: One of the longstanding problems in language acquisition is to have excellent level of language classroom interaction. Recent developments in this issue suggest that interaction must not exist only in the classroom and the learners must be given the opportunity to use the target language in different situations. Therefore, the present study aims at suggesting, identifying and describing tools in Social Network Sites that can foster Language Classroom Interaction. Given the sense of freedom and autonomy in building network of interaction embedded in social media, actually, Social Network Sites such as Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram are authentic resources and platforms to empower language classroom interaction if the sharing tools within are properly incorporated in a language class. In addition, Social Network Sites shape tools for life when comes to learn in the classroom and outside the classroom, because it presents tools that capacity learner in all aspects: cognitive, interactive and cooperative, and not forgetting learning skills. Furthermore, both learners and teachers, in Mozambican secondary schools have profiles in, at least, one of these Social Network Sites. The study shows that they generally access such sites for entertainment and sharing and never for learning. Among different reasons, lack of knowledge about the learning tools within social networks and low creativity and innovation in teaching are decisive to low exploitability of the tools. The research consists of both qualitative and quantitative methods and the data result from observations, questionnaires and interviews techniques set in Social Network Sites, especially Facebook to bring reliable and verifiable samples of the data analyzed. The research demonstrates how relevant the Social Network Sites are for Language Classroom Interaction and language acquisition. Furthermore, an awareness of these tools can possibly be significant to educational contexts to encourage language learners to interact and collaborate with each other and with native speakers of the target language through a number of online communication tools such as chat walls, videos conference, etc., provided by these platforms.

New technologies are constantly transforming traditional notions of language use and literacy in online communication environments. While previous research has provided a foundation for understanding the use of new technologies in instructed second language environments, few studies have investigated new literacies and electronic discourse beyond the classroom setting. This volume seeks to address this gap by providing corpus-based and empirical studies of electronic discourse analyzing social and linguistic variation as well as communicative practices in chat, discussion forums, blogs, and podcasts. Several chapters also examine the assessment and integration of new literacies. This volume will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students interested in exploring electronic discourse and new literacies in language learning and teaching.

The use of technological tools to foster language development has led to advances in language methodologies and changed the approach towards language instruction. The tendency towards developing more autonomous learners has emphasized the need for technological tools that could contribute to this shift in foreign language learning. Computer-assisted language learning and mobile-assisted language learning have greatly collaborated to foster language instruction out of the classroom environment, offering possibilities for distance learning and expanding in-class time. Recent Tools for Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning is a scholarly research book that explores current strategies for foreign language learning through the use of technology and introduces new technological tools and evaluates existing ones that foster language development. Highlighting a wide array of topics such as gamification, mobile technologies, and virtual reality, this book is essential for language educators, educational software developers, IT consultants, K-20 institutions, principals, professionals, academicians, researchers, curriculum designers, and students.
