Reviews

This is a great study of diverse social processes of individuals in language learning. It highlights the role of social agency and the dialogic relationship of learners and social community in their language learning and identity construction. This study adds a rich dimension to the L2 learning process and theory. * Danling Fu, University of Florida, USA * Chie Murumatsu combines consummate storytelling with theoretical insight in this contribution to an emerging body of research on L2 learners. Her portraits of four Japanese language learners paint a vivid picture of L2 learning as socially situated lived experience in which the learner's agency plays a crucial role. * Phil Benson, Macquarie University, Australia *
