Abstract:

In this accessible introduction to Vygotskian sociocultural theory, narratives
illuminate key concepts of the theory. These key concepts include mediation;
Zone of Proximal Development; collaborative dialogue and private speech;
everyday and scientific concepts; the interrelatedness of cognition and
emotion; activity theory; and assessment. A final chapter provides readers
with an opportunity to consider two additional narratives and apply the SCT
concepts that they have become familiar with. We hear from learners, teachers
and researchers in a variety of languages, contexts, ages and proficiencies.
Intended for graduate and undergraduate audiences, this new edition of the
textbook includes controversies in the field, improved questions for
collaborative discussion and provides updated references to important work in
the literature of second language teaching, learning and research.
