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.
