Russian followers of Vygotsky have expanded his ideas into a theory that integrates cognitive, motivational, and social aspects of child development--emphasizing the role of children's activity as mediated by adults in their development. This theory has become the basis for an innovative analysis of periods in child development and of the mechanism of children's transitions from one period to the next. The neo-Vygotskian approach to child development is thus introduced to English-speaking readers in this volume..

The authors in this collection use Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory of human development to frame their analyses of schooling, with particular emphasis on the ways in which literacy practices are mediated by social interaction and cultural artifacts. This volume extends Vygotsky's cultural-historical theoretical framework to embrace nuances of learning and development that are influenced by culture as instantiated through the experiences of race, ethnicity, and language variation. This collection serves as a form of collaborative inquiry that itself will stimulate further consideration of these topics and further learning with Vygotsky about the ways in which individuals and social groups inquire and learn..

"In many ways, this edited volume can be read as a showcase for the state of affairs in SLA research It exemplifies what makes current SLA work so energetic and vibrant, topically and methodologically innovative, insightful in its results, and intellectually and episteologically expansive in its implications and significance beyond second language acquisition." - Applied Linguistics This text brings together the work of scholars attempting to extend Vygotsky's theory to second language research. The papers included, are organized according to three of the major topics of interest in Vygotskian research: zone of proximal development, inner and private speech, and activity theory. All of the papers report on the results of empirical research carried on in these three areas. Readers will recognize the potential sociocultural theory and research has for developing a fuller understanding of L2 learning and use..

Teachers and researches of language have dedicated years of work to understanding the relationship between language and culture. This book is yet another contribution to this endevour. It represents an ethnographic account of how students of a large public American university in the Midwest learned Russian language and culture. The findings are presented in the light of the theoretical framework based on Bakhtinian understanding of dialogue and monologue in culture and Vygotskian understanding of practice, offering an interpretation of language learning as a unique individual practice, and culture as a multidimensional phenomenon co-constructed in a dialogue, but a dialogue often constrained by the monologic genres of human interaction. Its goals is to help teachers think of new ways of creatively weaving cultural knowledge into their unique pedagogies and to introduce an international research community to a new piece of data and theory driven evidence of how languge and culture are connected..

From the author: This study examines the processes by which mothers communicate with their hearing and deaf preschool children during a problem-solving task. Mothers and children from three matched groups--hearing mother-hearing child, hearing mother-deaf child, and deafmother-deaf child--were videotaped while the mother taught the child to assemble a wooden pyramid. Hearing mothers of deaf children were less likely to adapt their interactional strategies to meet their children's communicative needs and achieve intersubjectivity than were the other mothers. Findings support Vygotsky's dialectical notion of cognitive development.
