Learn scripts in appropriate surroundings (8)
I believe the answer is:
contexts
'learn scripts in appropriate surroundings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'learn scripts in appropriate surroundings' is the wordplay.
'learn' becomes 'con' ('con' can be a synonym of 'learn').
'scripts in appropriate surroundings' becomes 'texts' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'con'+'texts'='CONTEXTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for contexts that I've seen is " Settings".)
