This article proposes that in‐situ exploration, a methodology adapted from field‐based learning of unwritten languages, has useful applications in the American foreign language classroom. Based on learner independence and community involvement , in‐situ exploration utilizes native‐speaking mentors, who, using a five‐step “Learning Cycle,” help guide learners in defining their language‐learning needs, and in drawing effective language from the local community. In the process of learning the basics of the new language, students learn the skills needed to continue self‐directed learning once formal training has been completed
