Translanguaging: Definitions, Implications, and Further Needs in Burgeoning Inquiry (2017, neutral): “In the field of second language acquisition, LarsenFreeman (1997, 2011) analogizes language development to chaos/complexity theory, while de Bot, Lowie, and Verspoor (2007) use the framework of dynamic systems theory, two perspectives from the physical sciences and mathematics, respectively, that…”
Individual Differences: Interplay of Learner Characteristics and Learning Environment (2009, background): “The following summary by de Bot et al. (2007) provides a good illustration of the intricacy of this dynamic conceptualization: a language learner is regarded as a dynamic subsystem within a social system with a great number of interacting internal dynamic sub-sub systems, which function within a…”
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-DETERMINATION ACROSS THE LANGUAGE COURSE (2019, background): “…systems are assumed to constantly change through internal self-organization and through interaction with their environment (i.e., other systems; de Bot et al., 2007), we expect trajectories of change to potentially vary across individuals and investigated what, within the motivational system,…”
