Muramatsu’s book, focusing on the qualities of domestic immersion through detailed case studies, is a lucidly written and significant contribution to socially-oriented research on foreign language education. Solid erudition deftly combined with compelling storytelling make this volume a joy to read.

Chie Muramatsu combines consummate storytelling with theoretical insight in this contribution to an emerging body of research on L2 learners. Her portraits of four Japanese language learners paint a vivid picture of L2 learning as socially situated lived experience in which the learner’s agency plays a crucial role.
