Reviews

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)
