Educational Linguistics Volume 14 General Editors: Leo van Lier Monterey Institute of International Studies, U.S.A Francis M. Hult Lund University, Sweden Editorial Board: Marilda C. Cavalcanti Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil Hilary Janks University of Witwatersrand, South Africa Claire Kramsch University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A Alastair Pennycook University of Technology, Sydney, Australia The Educational Linguistics book series focuses on work that is: innovative, trans-disciplinary, contextualized and critical. In our compartmentalized world of diverse academic fields and disciplines there is a constant tendency to specialize more and more. In academic institutions, at conferences, in journals, and in publications the crossing of disciplinary boundaries is often discouraged. This series is based on the idea that there is a need for studies that break barriers. It is dedicated to innovative studies of language use and language learning in educational settings worldwide. It provides a forum for work that crosses traditional boundaries between theory and practice, between micro and macro, and between native, second and foreign language education. The series also promotes critical work that aims to challenge current practices and offers practical, substantive improvements. For further volumes: http://www.springer.com/series/5894
