Fiona Maine – Theory Into Practice, 2024
This article argues that provisional language is important for creating a dialogic space between speakers, where ideas are open for discussion; where participants respect each other's viewpoints; and where the goal is to encourage and explore multiple perspectives. Whilst much of the research on children's talk in the classroom focuses on the…

This book provides an overview and analysis of the role that classroom interaction plays in instructed second language acquisition.

Sixuan Wang; Yongyan Zheng – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
Drawing on the perspective of decolonizing methodology, this paper problematises the conventional interview technique of avoiding yes-or-no questions introduced by handbooks of research methods in applied linguistics. By demonstrating how this interview technique was found unsuitable in the first author's ethnographic study of multilingualism with…

Zhang, Yuan – American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, 2022
This paper investigates optimal practices for teaching Chinese as a foreign language, situated within the context of adult learning theories, with a specific focus on adopting Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective. The examination delves into the theory of genre and its role in constructing meaning within cultural and social contexts, exploring its…

Revathy B. R. – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2024
This paper explores the adoption of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach in primary classrooms, emphasizing that language acquisition is best achieved through meaningful communication rather than rote memorization. Drawing on Krashen's Input Hypothesis and Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the study highlights the importance of…

Koomen, Marten – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
This article addresses Habermas' method of "rational reconstruction" in the context of the competing approaches of "postmodernism" and "neoliberalism." Habermas' tradition is differentiated from others through its focus on intersubjectivity and universal principles. Rational reconstruction provides a basis for…

Pang, Bonnie – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
This paper begins with a question: can concepts generated in the Chinese context in the sociocultural relations of the periphery contribute to the development of the social sciences in the field of Health and Physical Education (HPE) that have their roots in the metropole? Setting the scene in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), a…

Heyd-Metzuyanim, Einat – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
In this theoretical paper, I examine the similarities and incommensurabilties between studies using the term "beliefs", and discursive frameworks studying "identity". I start by reviewing critiques against beliefs research voiced from discourse and socio-culturally oriented researchers in the field of mathematics education. I…

Erton, Ismail – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2018
Studies in modern linguistic theory to determine the scope and vision of human communication have shifted their attention to semiotics, in which actions speak louder than words as some say. The semiotic capacity of an individual reflects the effective and efficient usage of pragmatic competence in which the language user has the awareness of…

White, Cynthia; Zheng, Yanqun; Skyrme, Gillian – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2021
Innovation in technology-enhanced language learning environments has been largely driven by the affordances of new tools and rich, smart learning environments alongside the use of everyday tools. Such technology-mediated environments open up further ways of researching and enhancing language learning and call for new methodological and conceptual…

Richards, Jack C.; Wilson, Owen – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2019
The concepts of identity and translanguaging have been a focus of considerable theorizing and research in recent years, and have clarified important dimensions of how people interact in both monolingual and multilingual settings (Barkhuizen, 2016; Creese and Blackledge, 2015; Darvin and Norton, 2018; Otheguy et al., 2018). In this article we would…

Martínez, Ramón Antonio; Mejía, Alexander Feliciano – Theory Into Practice, 2020
The definitions of "academic language" available to teachers and teacher educators often invoke generalized assumptions about the supposed gap between complex, discipline-specific forms of language and the everyday language of Latina/o/x students. In this article, we advance an alternative hypothesis -- that Latina/o/x students boast…

Simonsen, Russell – Hispania, 2019
In L2 (second language) pedagogy, texts are commonly distinguished based on whether language instruction was a consideration in their creation. Texts that are not created for L2 instruction, or "authentic texts," have been thought to represent the target language in an accurate and reliable way (Zyzik and Polio 2017). Conversely, texts…

Kellogg, David – Language and Education, 2017
The late Ruqaiya Hasan was an enthusiastic but exacting reader of Vygotsky: she reproached him for lacking a theory of language use, for using an asocial model of education without class variation in semantic code, and above all for using an atomistic unit of analysis, namely lexical word meaning. In this paper, I take up these criticisms and…
