Hi!
First of all I have to say that I really like the word “environment” because it perfectly gives the idea of the context in which we learn a language. As Sarah wrote, the learning process doesn’t stop when our formal learning is over: learning a language is more than attending a course! That’s why the PLE is very important: it helps people to become aware of what they do to improve their skills, of which tools they use and of the whole environment in which they learn.
I organized my PLE creating two main groups: my formal education (school) and my informal environment. Each one has four sub-categories: tools, people, where and activities I do.

I hope you enjoy my explanatory video! (I'm becoming a YouTube addicted!)
You can find it in YouTube: search for "PLE" and then click on "date added". You will find my presentation called "PLE presentation" by pasqstef.
