Abstract
Abstract: All English Department students dream to visit English-speaking countries. One reason is that they want to practice their English to communicate with native speakers in real communication, and to immerse themselves into the English language-rich environment. However, only a small portion of students have the means and opportunity to do so. This paper will show how Google Maps can help students to virtually travel to English speaking countries and improve their English linguistically, pragmatically and interculturally. Actually, languages, including English, are available in public spaces and make up the linguistic landscape of a territory or a region, and linguistic landscape is potential for the teaching and learning of second and foreign languages. The linguistic element of signs is made creatively with clear, interesting, fresh and ready to understand English. They are valuable for learners to improve their English.
