- 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)
