Abstract
Although the English language used in chat rooms has been extensively investigated in computer-mediated communication (CMC) literature, most of the data is text based (e.g. Simpson, 2005; Smith, 2008; Pojanapunya & Jaroenkitboworn, 2011). Christopher Jenks’s Social Interaction in Second Language Chat Rooms, on the other hand, investigates second language chat rooms which are voice-based. It is a book of timely investigation of chat rooms as we are entering a new frontier of technology that can transform our interaction and allow us to be connected faster than ever before.
