Review “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) About the Author Geoffrey Sockett is Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at Paris Descartes University in France. He has published articles and spoken at international conferences in the fields of second language acquisition and computer assisted language learning.
