This book was written to guide students, educators, and scholars through a foundational understanding of language acquisition that begins with core linguistic theories and evolves toward critical reflection on language in context. The trajectory of this work moves from classical perspectives that frame language as structure to contemporary understandings of language as social practice.
Drawing from foundational thinkers and interdisciplinary insights, this book invites readers to reflect on how language is learned, shaped, and situated within broader ideological frameworks. The goal is not only to introduce key theoretical perspectives, but also to offer a cohesive framework for thinking critically about language and its acquisition in the modern world.
