Reviews for The Online Informal Learning of English (New Language Learning and Teaching Environments)
“In an engaging, highly readable yet authoritative prose, Sockett describes how changes in technology have allowed for unprecedented out-of-classroom access to a wide-range of pop-culture, often resulting in personalized, English learning environments. … The online Informal Learning of English provides an excellent starting point for research on informal learning in today’s globalized online environment.” (Jason Cole, System, 2016)
