Editorial Reviews
Review
This innovative study leads researchers in L2 acquisition to a more complete picture of the learning experiences of traditional FL classroom students… [It] will certainly benefit the intended audience of researchers and language educators. It will be particularly useful for those interested in how language learning occurs outside of the classroom and how to encourage and support language learners to expand their L2 learning and use beyond the classroom. –The Linguist List, Ashlie N.
