This is the 4th phase according to Ellis (2019) when he addresses the fact that SLA researchers started to take into account the importance of social context and not only consider psychological and cognitive aspects related to second language acquisition. On the one hand, it is possible to comprehend learners as “complex human beings”, and that social and cultural aspects are relevant to understand how they respond to any language learning process. To my mind, these contributions are important for us teachers in terms of understanding how the students acquire a new language and succeed in different environments.

This phase is viewed as a combination of cognitive and social elements or perspectives on L2 acquisition. As we go through these studies, we see that researchers tend to interpret learners as being part of a more complex system in which multilingualism plays a crucial role.  Ellis (2019, p. 5) points out that “language learning acquisition is always open to change”. It is very interesting to notice that language evolves itself as well as the understanding about it. Due to this, teachers can develop lessons and apply activities from different theories which can contribute to their SLA teaching practice.
