Book: Integrating Computer-Mediated Communication into Foreign Language Education
From http://www.lincom-shop.eu/shop/article_ISBN%25209783862884100/LSSLT-18%3A-Integrating-Computer-Mediated-Communication-into-Foreign-Language-Education.html
LSSLT 18: Integrating Computer-Mediated Communication into Foreign Language Education
A Vietnamese Sociocultural Context of Higher Education
By Long V. Nguyen
Published by Lincom Academic Publishers
Description: The book investigates the nature of both synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication and how these two modes of communication may complement each other and contribute to collaborative learning in an EFL classroom environment. Results from the research indicated promising avenues for the application of various CMC technologies in the Confucius heritage language classroom. The quality of discussion was persuasively better in the online synchronous mode. The use of wikis as a new platform for peer exchanges can be considered an innovation, liberating the students from the conventional, narrow, and linear practice of pen-and-paperbased peer editing. Furthermore, indications of trends in terms of quality were positive toward the online essays. Learners’ reflections on and perceptions of the introduction of CMC into language learning presented a potential picture of a technology-enhanced classroom. This book is therefore aimed at researchers, language teachers, and graduate students with an interest in computer-mediated communication and computer-assisted language learning.

Book: Researching Cultures of Learning
From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=510458
Researching Cultures of Learning: International Perspectives on Language Learning and Education
Edited by Martin Cortazzi and Lixian Jin
Published by Palgrave Macmillan
Description: This edited book is the first collection of research-based papers on cultures of learning, a concept which has been developed by the editors over 20 years. It assembles research with a considerable international range with a team of experts (working in USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Finland, France, Iran, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Thailand) with deep experience of the wide range of cultural contexts which are investigated, many related to 'home contexts' of the authors themselves.
The book includes a diversity of case studies of particular situations of language learning and use; it offers explorations of transcultural learning by students and teachers who cross languages and borders for study or work. All authors have long engagement with the cultural participants about whom they are writing. This book thus includes a range of orientations, viewpoints and critical stances on cultures of learning and prospective authors have been invited for their expertise, experience and insights in cultural contexts of learning in different countries.
