Abstract : In its broadest sense, communities of practice defined as a group of people who share the same concerns. Even though the idea of communities of practice was very old, it became known in 1991 in the work of Lave and Wenger. The current study, thus, tackles some definitions of communities of practice given by different scholars, it also addresses some recent work dealing with the application of Community of Practice Theory, and then it attempts to examine James Paul Gee and Colin Lanknshear’s definition of culture and Claire Kramsch’s example given on culture. By analysing these two quotes, the term community of practice will be given another definition, which is that community of practice is a collection of people who share the same culture.
