Description for Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning Paperback. This volume brings together studies from learning contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language: naturalistic immersion (immigration and study abroad), intensive instruction, and informal intensive environments in foreign language settings. Its chapters highlight the unique role of intensive exposure in second language learning. Editor(s): Munoz, Carmen. Series: Second Language Acquisition. Num Pages: 280 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: CFDC. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 438.

This volume brings together studies dealing with second language learning in contexts that provide intensive exposure to the target language. In doing so, it highlights the role of intensive exposure as a critical distinctive characteristic in the comparison of learning processes and outcomes from different learning contexts: naturalistic and foreign language instruction, stay abroad and at home, and extensive and intensive instruction programmes. The different chapters represent a wide range of learning contexts and types of learning, as well as different approaches that yield much needed evidence on the role of context of acquisition in second language learning.

Reviews for Intensive Exposure Experiences in Second Language Learning

This is an impressive collection of studies on intensive exposure experiences in L2 learning. Findings from research in Canadian intensive programs, European schools and study abroad contexts illustrate the benefits of intensive L2 learning and provide compelling insights about interactions with learner factors including age, L1 background, L2 proficiency, academic ability, and language learning history. This is essential reading for ... Read moreL2 program developers, teachers and researchers.
Nina Spada, University of Toronto, Canada This collection offers a rich exploration of the interplay among contexts for additional language learning, varying intensities of input and instruction, and mediating individual difference factors. The highly original research insights are gleaned from measured proficiency gains, corpus documentation of the linguistic environments, and qualitative learner perceptions of context affordances. A must-read!
Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, USA This impressive volume brings together a rich collection of articles that offer penetrating discussions of the complex issues associated with intensive language learning. Its strengths lie in its focus on cross cultural research, contrasting methodologies, comparisons among different types of intensive learning programs, the age, L1 and social background of the learners and considerations of which types of program best promotes which type of gain. Particularly interesting is that time honored questions in SLA, the role of input, time-on task, form focused instruction among others, are considered as they relate to intensive language learning.
Barbara Freed, Carnegie Mellon University, USA This book is intended for a broad audience, including teachers, language teacher educators, language education policymakers, applied linguists, L2 researchers, academics and postgraduate students (of L2 studies, psycholinguistics and bilingualism)... Despite the number of different contributors, the book is clearly well-edited, accessible, and consistent in its presentation. The authors appear to have achieved their goals with the book.
Jon Clenton, Osaka University, Japan

The book, which presents an interesting collection of texts, some from very renowned researchers in the field, will without any doubt serve as a useful resource for readers interested in issues related to intensive exposure to the target language and also more broadly to learning contexts. It could also serve as a textbook for a graduate seminar on the role of intensive exposure in second/foreign language acquisition as it provides readers with a solid general portrait of the effect of intensive exposure to the target language as a function of various factors in language development.
