Hence, communities of practice are fundamentally composed of social relations –
language, communication and learning. In this account, learning is seen as relational
– indeed, Wenger (1998) argues that it is the social relations which act as pivots
between the individual and the social. These social relations seem to be about learning
and crucially becoming (changing). Lee and Roth make the point that, ‘learning
means to become, that is, to belong somewhere differently than we do at the moment’
(2003, 2).
