 note = {Complex systems theory is a relatively new paradigm for understanding
systems behavior. It was originally developed in the fields of
mathematics and physical sciences. Complex systems theory has also
been widely proposed as an important new way to look at social and
cognitive sciences, including language learning. One criticism of this new
paradigm in the field of language learning is that no clear model of
language learning based on complex systems theory has been developed.
This paper considers the current state of language education, provides an
overview of complex systems theory and then proposes a basic model of
language learning based on the new paradigm. The paper concludes with
some implications of adopting a complex systems model of language
learning.},
