No doubt that English education is a complex process, and its successes depend on many variables. Of these, English language-learning environments for regular practice are commonly accepted as a prerequisite in the contexts of English as a foreign language (EFL). Unfortunately, the questions of what English language-learning environments exactly are and how these are to be implemented have not been well addressed. The present paper reviews the literature on the concept of English language-learning environments and identifies approaches for successful applications of those environments for English language education. The present paper contributes to the growing body of literature on foreign language education and draws special attention to English language teaching theories (ELT).
