Abstract:

This book is the first in-depth examination of the application of theories of
space to issues of second language learning. The author introduces the work of
key thinkers on the theory of space and place and the relevance of their ideas
to second language acquisition (SLA). He also outlines a new conceptual
framework and set of terms for researching SLA that centre on the idea of
'language learning environments'. The book considers the spatial contexts in
which language learning takes place and investigates how these spatial
contexts are transformed into individualised language learning environments,
as learners engage with a range of human and nonhuman, and physical and
nonphysical, resources in their daily lives. Revisiting linguistics and
language learning theory from a spatial perspective, the book demonstrates
that the question of where people learn languages is equally as important as
that of how they do so. This work is essential reading for any researcher
wishing to research the role of the environment as an active player in SLA.
