摘要:Byrnes reflects on the notion of "community" or "communities," noting that, in private talk, this is a way of recognizing important groupings and ways of belonging, and in public talk, this is "a way of acknowledging that the erstwhile enchantment with the calculus of individual rational choice is not the most persuasive way of accounting for many of the phenomena we experience in our lives." In particular, Byrnes examines the notion of "Connecting language learning to the community" and discusses how the overall presence of community has been given particular meanings through being embedded in the core constructs of the influential Standards for Foreign Language Learning (2006).
