We were
interested in talking about this theory because its insights have a pedagogical
and psychological relationship with some of the other hypotheses (Output and
Interaction hypotheses). We can conclude this, due to the importance offered to
Vygotskian thoughts. From this author’s point of view, language is a socially
mediated process. Language mediates social and psychological activities.
When applying
this theory, it is necessary to group all the actors involved in the process of
acquisition of language because Vygostki confers a high importance to the role
of social interaction to the social being.
Leraners,
observe and imitate others target language speakers models for having an
example to follow. Collaboration is
really important in this theory, which promotes interaction among apprentices
that can facilitate the movement from one stage to a more advanced one.
Scaffolding
is a key word when discussing important concepts in the sociocultural theory.
Scaffolding is related to the support offered from another person in order to
solve a task.
