Biography

Atsushi Hasegawa is Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of Kentucky. He specializes in applied linguistics, second language acquisition, and language pedagogy. His research interests encompass micro-analysis of L2 interaction both in instructional and non-instructional settings, as well as social network analysis of various multilingual contexts.

"[This book] expands the scope of the burgeoning literature on language learners' social lives during SA by focusing on the processes of the learners' development of interactional repertoires and the negotioation of their interpersonal relationships.
We hope this commendable volume will be a useful reference book for researchers, SA program administrators, and school instructors who take an interest in IHE policy enactment and enforcement."
