Description
This book offers a fresh perspective on second language learning by exploring the role of space and environment in the process. Phil Benson examines the work of key thinkers on the theory of space and place, and how their ideas can be applied to understanding language acquisition.
The author introduces a new conceptual framework for researching language learning environments, which considers the spatial contexts where language is learned and how these are transformed into individualised learning spaces. By investigating the human and nonhuman resources that learners engage with in their daily lives, Benson sheds light on the importance of environment in shaping language learning outcomes.
This book is a valuable resource for researchers looking to understand the role of environment in second language acquisition, and will be of interest to anyone working in linguistics and language teaching.
