Language emergence: Implications for applied linguistics - Introduction to the special issue (2006, background): “Changes in the system are engendered by agents' adaptation to their environment (van Lier 2004), often including the reciprocal feedback that they receive as a result of their joint activities.”
The Heart of Heritage: Sociocultural Dimensions of Heritage Language Learning (2010, background): “…nature of language learning (de Bot, 2008; Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008; Markee, 2008); the ecology of language learning (Kramsch, 2002; van Lier, 2004); the sociocultural foundation of language learning (Atkinson, 2002; Lantolf, 2000, 2006; Lantolf & Thorne, 2007); and the coconstructed…”
Own-language use in language teaching and learning (2012, background): “…to new language development (e.g. LarsenFreeman 1997; Larsen-Freeman & Cameron 2008: 115–160); of SOCIOCULTURAL THEORY (e.g. Lantolf 2000, 2011); and of ECOLOGICAL APPROACHES (e.g. van Lier 2000, 2004; Kramsch 2002) as ways of understanding and explaining language and language-related phenomena.”
Action-based Teaching, Autonomy and Identity (2007, background): “From an ecological perspective, language learning-as-agency involves learning to perceive affordances (relationships of possibility) within multimodal communicative events (Greeno, 1994; Kress, 2001; Norris, 2004; van Lier, 2004).”
Intercultural communicative competence and online exchanges: a systematic review (2018, methodology): “This is very similar to what van Lier (2004) called Firstness and how it cannot be absent from L2 or FL teaching if language learning is to happen as naturally as possible, resembling first language development.”
Scaffolding theory: High challenge, high support in Academic Language and Learning (ALL) contexts (2014, background): “A crucial aspect of scaffolding, van Lier (2004) and Lantolf and Thorne (2006) point out, is the notion of agency in learning.”
The Emergence of Complexity, Fluency, and Accuracy in the Oral and Written Production of Five Chinese Learners of English (2006, background): “…is social in nature stems from the fact that it is used for social action within a context of language use, where pressures and affordances, learners’ identities, goals and affective states will all have a profound effect on language performance (van Lier 2004; Cameron and Deignan, this issue).”
Engagement in language learning: A systematic review of 20 years of research methods and definitions (2021, background): “Social engagement, too, occupies a central place in language learning (Philp & Duchesne, 2008; van Lier, 2004).”
Language Teacher Cognition in Applied Linguistics Research: Revisiting the Territory, Redrawing the Boundaries, Reclaiming the Relevance (2015, background): “…and ecological metaphors to understanding cognition in its nested ecosystems and different levels and timescales (Larsen–Freeman & Cameron, 2008; van Lier, 2004); and poststructuralist critical theories, including critical applied linguistics, which highlight the power of values and challenge…”
Chinese students’ perceptions of English learning affordances and their agency in an English-medium instruction classroom context (2019, background): “Akin to sociocultural theory of learning, the linguistic-ecological approach views language learning as a meaning-making activity mediated by various semiotic resources in the environment (van Lier 2004).”
Towards a pedagogy of empowerment: The case of 'impostor syndrome' among pre-service non-native speaker teachers in TESOL (2008, background): “Although the overall semiotic structure of self is said to be almost identical for all humans, identities are more contextually determined and are a result of various cultural interpretations of race, gender, social class, religion, and notions of membership (van Lier 2004).”
