The authors of this book present new research in the study of language learning, including CALL technology for literacy and second language learning; the effect of biliteracy instruction on English reading achievement in bilingual South African children; vocabulary knowledge and reading ability in second language learning; multilingual learning; language learning through SMS and podcasts and the linguistic specializations of perceptual narrowing of speech and functional asymmetries.
