Abstract
Most of the language acquisition theories underline the need of exposure to the target language by providing EFL learners those situations in which English is visible and audible. Thus learners are able to get greater familiarity with the target language creating more chances for EFL acquisition. If EFL learning is affected by various variables, the input represents a significant one being the first side of the language learning process. Among the factors affecting EFL learning and use in EFL learners’ social networks a significant contribution is that of interpersonal space which connects learners’ social relations and their interactions, as they are generated by the learners in daily life. In such contexts their identities can be affirmed and occur generation of knowledge by collaboration, thus developing linguistic skills.
