Reviews
Chie Muramatsu 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 * 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 * Muramatsu’s book, focusing on the qualities of domestic immersion through detailed case studies, is a lucidly written and significant contribution to socially-oriented research on foreign language education. Solid erudition deftly combined with compelling storytelling make this volume a joy to read. * Celeste Kinginger, Pennsylvania State University, USA *
