BALL Bibliography

Blog Assisted Language Learning Bibliography

In writing my paper for the upcoming GLoCALL Conference, I thought it would be useful to provide a bibliography of the many sources I came across while conducting a literature review. The irony is that the list below doesn’t include blog posts themselves, as I have treated those as primary sources rather than secondary. I have also excluded more “general” articles on blogging in trying to retain a focus on second language learning (although a couple of works, such as danah boyd’s article, slipped through because they present excellent arguments and provide a theoretical basis for BALL analysis).

This bibliography was last updated in November 2008.
