This text brings together well-known scholars in two relatively
distinct fields (language acquisition and language socialization)
and from a variety of orientations within applied linguistics -
psycho and sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics,
educational linguistics - to describe language development from a
relational perspective. The notion of ecology offers a convenient
metaphor for the complex variational processes that take place
within individuals and between individuals and their social and
cultural environment, as they attempt to learn the language of the
other.;The theme of ecology affords a fresh look into phenomena not
encompassed by language acquisition or language socialization
research alone. It puts into question traditional ways of looking
at time, space, subjectivity, identity in the acquisition of
another language and its use in a variety of social contexts. For
language teachers and educators, this book attempts to eschew
traditional dichotomies such as language acquisition vs. language
use, and to capture the complex and holistic nature of language
learning and teaching.
