LANGUAGE LEARNERS AS ETHNOGRAPHERS
Celia Roberts, Michael Byram, Ana Barro, Shirley Jordan and Brian Street
"Language Learners as Ethnographers" is an innovative and highly
stimulating book that should have a major impact on the study of modern
languages at university level. The authors have struck just the right
balance between theory and practice, and leave themselves space for a
thorough and detailed presentation of how the project can actually be
carried through. The real test of the book's importance will ultimately
lie in the success of the authors' crusade to convert language
*lecturers* to their cause. It is hard to imagine that language
lecturers who read this book will not be inspired to launch a course on
ethnography for language learners in their own department.
Clare Mar-Molinero and Patrick Stevenson, School of Modern Languages,
University of Southampton
KEY FEATURES
* Idea of language learners as ethnographers can be transferred to many
contexts
* Argues for interdisciplinarity in language learning
* Of relevance to Modern/Foreign languages lecturers, lecturers in
European Studies, Latin American Studies, teachers of upper secondary
school pupils, as well as trainers in intercultural communication and
language for professional purposes
This book looks at the role of cultural studies and intercultural
communication in language learning. The book argues that learners who
have an opportunity to stay in the target language country can be
trained to do an ethnographic project while abroad. Borrowing from
anthropologists' the idea of cultural fieldwork and 'writing culture',
language learners develop their linguistic and cultural competence
through the study of a local group. This book combines a theoretical
overview of language and cultural practices with a description of
ethnographic approaches and materials specifically designed for language
learners.

STUDIES IN JAPANESE BILINGUALISM
Mary Goebel Noguchi (Ritsumeikan University)
and Sandra Fotos (Senshu University)
KEY FEATURES
* A bilingual Japan creates the need for a new discourse. This baook
provides the vocabulary for this
* Scope and depth of contributions raise volume above conventional level

DESCRIPTION
Studies in Japanese Bilingualism helps dissolve the myth of Japanese
homogeneity by explaining the history of this construct and offering
twelve empirical studies on different facets of language contact in
Japan, including Ainu revitalisation, Korean language maintenance,
creative use of Ryukyuan languages in Okinawa, English immersion, and
language use by Nikkei immigrants, Chinese "War Orphans" and bicultural
children, as well as codeswitching and language attrition in Japanese
contexts.
