Recenzje

"I am familiar with Sadler's work having attended some of his conference presentations and served with him on the CALICO Executive Board. I know that he is well connected within the field of technology and language learning, which should help in recruiting authors... This is the kind of book that is well-suited to libraries, and I would think that individual chapters would find their ways into course readers in more general technology and language learning teacher preparation courses."Phil Hubbard, Stanford University, USA"My overall impression is that the proposed volume provides a highly important contribution to the endeavor of language learning. The premise is intriguing, in that it is focused on an area of research in language learning which is often left aside in research and on language teacher training programs, that of informal language learning. It is an exciting and novel approach to theorizing about language learning - one which will serve to inform studies of formal language learning and research into second language acquisition."Anne McCabe, Saint Louis University, USA"I think a handbook on informal language learning is timely and much needed. I like how the authors proposed to start with a clear theorization of informal language learning from different perspectives and how it covers a wide range of aspects related to informal language learning."Chun Lai, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
