Summary/Abstract: People develop social practices as a way to relate to one another and our environment. Besides cultural social practices such as traditions or religion, one of the characteristics that most distinguishes us as a society among other peoples is our spoken language. Linguistic social practices are an essential component of any society, country, or group of people. In this study, we aim to review the broad concept of SLA and its main theories in general and to focus on second language learning as a social practice in particular.
