"Most societies in today’sworld are multilingual. ‘Language contact’ occurs when speakers of different languages interact and their languages influence each other. This book is an introduction to the subject, covering individual and societal multilingualism, the acquisition of two or more languages from birth, second-language acquisition in adulthood, language change, linguistic typology, language processing, and the structure of the language faculty. It explains the effects of multilingualism on society and language policy, as well as the consequences that long-term bilingualism within communities can have for the structure of languages. Drawing on the author’s own first-hand observations of child and adult bilingualism, the book provides a clear analysis of such phenomena as language convergence, grammatical borrowing, and mixed languages."

It consists of articles on various issues relating to the syntactic and lexical development of foreign language learners from different L1 backgrounds, in many cases involving languages which are typologically distant from English, such as Russian, Croatian, Greek and Portuguese. Individual chapters highlight different areas expected to be especially transfer-prone at the level of grammatical and lexical transfer in particular contexts of language contact."

"ABSTRAKSeiring Bahasa Inggris dikenal sebagai lingua franca yang mendunia, kesadaran budaya pada pengajaran Bahasa Inggris menjadi hal yang penting. Banyak praktisi pengajaran Bahasa Inggris mengemukakan pentingnya pembelajaran budaya dalam meningkatkan kompetensi komunikatif pembelajar. Namun, di era globalisasi, pengajaran Bahasa Inggris diidentiikkan dengan westernisasi, khususnya dalam konteks EFL. Oleh karena itu, studi kasus mengenai analisis muatan budaya pada buku EFL di tingkat perguruan tinggi di Indonesia perlu dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana muatan budaya pada buku ajar EFL di Indonesia diformulasikan dan sejauh mana penulis buku menyajikan muatan budaya tersebut. Muatan budaya pada penelitian ini dikategorikan menurut dimensi budaya dan kerangka pemahaman budaya Moran. World Englishes Kachru juga digunakan untuk melihat persebaran budaya dari inner, outer, dan expanding circle. Dua belas bab yang telah dianalisis merepresentasikan ketimpangan budaya terhadap negara-negara penutur jati Bahasa Inggris. Khususnya, 50 persen dimensi budaya berasal dari negara-negara inner circle dibandingkan circle lainnya. Data yang diperoleh juga menunjukkan bahwa buku teks telah melibatkan muatan-muatan budaya luar negeri dalam meningkatkan kesadaran budaya pembelajar, namun kesadaran pada budaya sendiri masih belum direpresentasikan karena muatan budaya Indonesia tidak disajikan pada buku.

Many ELT practitioners urge the implementation of cultural learning in ELT to improve students rsquo; communicative competence. However, in the era of globalization, ELT is often linked to westernization to non-English speaking countries.

This study aims to examine how cultural content in the EFL textbook is formulated and how the authors organized the depth of its cultural content. The cultural content is classified into Moran rsquo;s cultural dimension and knowing framework. Kachru rsquo;s World Englishes is also used to see cultural content distribution from inner, outer, and expanding countries.
