Second Language Learning Through Exolingual And Ergonomic Approaches (A Re-Examination ofLanguage Evolution inBilingual Societies)

This article explores the process of second language acquisition in bilingual societies through exolingual and ergonomic approaches. It argues that language learning is not merely a cognitive or structural process, but one shaped by socio-cultural, psychological, and environmental factors. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from Lupyan, Krashen, Skinner, and others, the article re-examines language evolution through cultural transmission and practical engagement. The exolingual method, introduced by André Martinet, emphasizes learning within real-life communicative and cultural contexts, while ergonomic principles highlight the importance of designing comfortable, learner-friendly environments. Together, these approaches offer a comprehensive and effective framework for enhancing foreign language acquisition in diverse educational settings.
