Extramural English (EE) is a term used in the field of second language acquisition and an example of informal learning of language. The term was first coined in 2009 by Pia Sundqvist [1]. It refers to 'English outside the walls' (from Latin extramural, where the prefix, extra, means 'outside' and the stem, mural, means 'wall')[2]. EE is English that learners come in contact with or are involved in outside the walls of the classroom[3], often through streaming media and online games[4]. EE, or Extramural Ln (for any language)[5], also incorporates off-line activities, such as reading books in the target language. In EE, contact or involvement is typically initiated by the learner and not by the teacher. In general, contact or involvement is voluntary on the part of the learner, but sometimes learners engage in EE activities because they feel pressured to do so, for example, by friends [1][6]. Extramural Ln encompasses both incidental and intentional language learning. Extramural Ln research is often viewed as computer-assisted language learning (CALL) research. EE is linked to the theory of learner autonomy.
