May I suggest my colleague Ilana Gershon's 2012 book Breakup 2.0, which is an ethnographic look at how college students use Facebook, texting, etc to communicate about and with each other. I think it would be appropriate for undergrads with no linguistics background, and encourage a bit of reflexivity on their parts too, making it a fun read.

best,
susan
