Recommended books for George

Here are some suggestions. I’ve left out Warschauer, Levy and Chapelle as they probably already are on your list. Also any books by James Paul Gee and Allan Luke are worth checking. From the language learning perspective James Lantolf, Gordon Wells and David Block (especially “The Social Turn in Second Language Acquisition”)are on my must read list. Mark Prensky has also written some interesting stuff on the new learner generation.
