Linguaculture in the Language Classroom: A Sociocultural Approach
Mackerras, Stephen
Babel, v42 n2 p4-11, 38 Nov 2007
This article seeks to explore how a sociocultural approach to learning can change pedagogy in the teaching of second language literacy. As a first step, the changing notions of first language literacy are acknowledged. Vygotsky's notion of everyday and schooled concepts is then used to understand research data gathered in a Year 9 Japanese language class. (Contains 3 tables.)
