The idea for this volume emerged from our mutual interests in Mikhail Bakhtin and language learning, discovered via discussions begun at the 2002 meeting of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. We found out then that, having read much of his work, we were each quite attracted to Bakhtin's philosophy of language and interested in exploring its implications for the learning of languages. This volume is a result of our collective desire to share these interests with others in the field. To our knowledge, this volume is the first to explore links between Bakhtin's ideas and second and foreign language learning.

With the exception of chapter 7, all the chapters are original, written specifically for this volume. Together, they address a range of contexts, in-

cluding elementary and university-level English-as-a-second-language and foreign language classrooms and adult language-learning situations outside the formal classroom. Because the chapters are situated within a coherent conceptual framework, we expect them to be of interest to a broad audience of scholars with interests in second and foreign language learning. Moreover, given their significant pedagogical implications, we anticipate that teacher educators and language teachers will also find the volume useful.
