Language used in public and commercial signs constitutes linguistic landscape of urban public space. As a key component of physical location,linguistic landscape is often viewed as a powerful educational tool and a vital source of language input in language teaching, learning and acquisition.This paper examines the roles and values of linguistic landscape for language education in the perspectives of incidental learning,language awareness and literacy skills. It also illustrates the functions of linguistic landscape in schools to revitalize minority languages.Language teachers can use linguistic landscape as an instrument in designing nuanced and multilayered learning activities to help learners understand the society as well as learn the texts. This paper concludes that the integration of linguistic landscape as a pedagogical resource and tool brings a wide range of benefi ts to language learning.
