Goals
"The purpose of this chapter is to explore the emergence of a language learning practice in early childhood made possible and shaped by the material conditions of mobile video chats. More precisely, we ask whether the use of mobile video chats in the home and the associated changes in the material conditions of children’s physical environment influence language learning opportunities and interactions for early language learners of languages not widely spoken outside of their homes."
