社会文化视角下的外语课堂研究

Foreign Language Classroom Research from a Sociocultural Perspective

本研究参照国内外二语教学研究的核心期刊,以社会文化视角下外语课堂研究的最新文献为依据,首先重点介绍了中介、内化、最近发展区、支架、活动理论和能动性等社会文化理论中的核心理念。然后,从教师、学习者和课堂环境等方面探讨了该视角下的研究主题,并结合研究现状,深入分析了各主题未来可进一步拓展的研究范畴。文章最后指出,社会文化视角下的外语课堂研究通常使用质性研究方法,常见数据收集方法有日志/日记、个人叙事、个案历时研究法,数据分析法有社会文化对话分析等。

In order to sketch the landscape of the foreign language classroom research from a sociocuttural perspective and provide reference for further research, the related studies in recent years have been reviewed and commented on. The core concepts in sociocultural theory were first introduced and illustrated, such as mediation, internalization, the zone of proximal development （ZPD）, scaffolding, activity theory and agency; then the research themes were explored in terms of teachers, learners and classroom environment, and some future research areas were recommended based on the analysis of the review on each theme; finally, the commonly used research methods were provided, with journal and diary, narratives, and case study as the data collecting methods, and sociocultural discourse analysis as the data analyzing method.
