Abstract:

Provides a comprehensive and unique examination of global language learning
outside of the formal school setting.

Authored by a prominent team of international experts in their respective
fields, The Handbook of Informal Language Learning is a one-of-a-kind
reference work and it is a timely and valuable resource for anyone looking to
explore informal language learning outside of a formal education environment.
It features a comprehensive collection of cutting edge research areas
exploring the cultural and historical cases of informal language learning,
along with the growing area of digital language learning, and the future of
this relevant field in national development and language education. The
Handbook of Informal Language Learning is an essential resource for
researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of language
acquisition, English as a second language, and foreign language education.

The Handbook of Informal Language Learning examines informal language learning
from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Structured across six
sections, chapters cover areas of motivation, linguistics, cognition, and
multimodality; digital learning, including virtual contexts, gaming,
fanfiction, vlogging, mobile devices, and nonformal programs; and media and
live contact, including learning through environmental print, tourism/study
abroad. The book also provides studies of informal learning in four national
contexts, examines the integration of informal and formal classroom learning,
and discusses the future of language learning from different perspectives.
