This paper takes a complexity theory approach to looking at language
learning, an approach that investigates how language learners adapt to
and interact with people and their environment. Based on interviews with
four graduate students, it shows how complexity theory can help us
understand both the situatedness of language learning and also
commonalities across contexts by examining language learning through
the lenses of emergence, distribution, and embodiment. These lenses
underscore the perspective that language learning emerges from unique
interactions, is distributed across social networks, and is embodied in
individuals. Consequently, this paper concludes that it is not sufficient to
study cognitive processes, activities, and situated learning alone; in
addition, research must consider how learners’ interactions and
adaptations are embodied, distributed, and emergent in ecologies of
complex systems.
