LAN (Language Acquisition Network)
A Language Acquisition Network (LAN) refers to the interconnected system of cognitive, social, and environmental factors that facilitate language learning. This network includes the interactions between learners, teachers, peers, and the broader linguistic community, as well as the tools and resources available for language learning. The LAN framework emphasizes the importance of creating rich, supportive learning environments that promote language acquisition through meaningful interactions and comprehensive input. Educators can enhance the LAN by fostering collaborative learning, providing diverse language resources, and encouraging real-world language use.
