This study argues that ecolinguistics should consider language as a fundamental human activity that shapes technologically mediated environments. It emphasizes the role of languaging in skill development and expertise acquisition, particularly in second language learning. By integrating languaging, statistical learning, and skillful action, technology can foster diverse coordinated activities. Therefore, the authors advocate for creating technology-rich environments that enable individuals to transform themselves through second language acquisition and the development of new skills and expertise.
