The language socialization approach to second-language acquisition holds that linguistic knowledge and cultural knowledge are constructed through each other, treating the acquisition of a language and a learner's socialization into a community's cultural practices as a single underlying process rather than two separate ones. The approach saw increased research attention after the year 2000.
