Exploratory pathways to foreign language learning through natural and virtual versus pedagogical settings

Abstract EN

Resumé Studies in foreign language acquisition converge at the influential quality of the linguistic environmental setting on foreign language acquisition.

Due to the lack of authentic documents, and real communicative situations, this article discusses exploratory pathways as alternative approaches to language learning.

Besides, it exposes a plethora of concepts like implicit, informal learning and virtual exposure.

This position article highlights the effectiveness of virtual linguistic inputs used through new adaptive procedural techniques.

Through the descriptive and analytical procedure, this research paper gives an account of how to improve learners' performances in language skills.

The linguistic environment weighs significantly on learning outcome mainly in oral production.

Research shows that learners, when exposed permanently to authentic language inputs, perform better in a foreign language.

To seize the opportunities provided by net suppliers, teaching perspectives have to reinvest high potentials for application.
