The study of language learning is inseparable from the contexts in which it occurs. From natural human interaction to structured pedagogical environments, the processes of acquiring and teaching language are rich with complexity and nuance. This book, Language Learning in Context: Speech, Acquisition, and Instruction, brings together critical perspectives on how language is acquired, learned, and taught, particularly within bilingual and multilingual settings.
This book offers a thematic exploration of the core issues surrounding language learning. It situates speech and acquisition within broader discussions on instruction, drawing connections between theory and practice. With a focus on university-level foreign language education, the book also addresses practical concerns such as the selection of learning materials, the role of traditional exercises, and the design of speech-based activities that support learner development.
