社会文化理论在国内二语习得领域的研究综述——2008-2017年10种国内外语类核心期刊相关文献分析

A Review of Domestic Research on Sociocultural Theory in Second Language Acquisition

10种国内外语类核心期刊上发表的相关论文显示,2008-2017年社会文化理论在二语习得领域得到了前所未有的关注,最近发展区、支架、中介等核心概念不断被运用到教学研究和实践当中,并创造性地与"动态系统理论"结合起来;研究内容不断拓展与深化,涵盖二语习得各个方面;研究方法朝着量化与质化相结合的方向发展。未来研究的重点应当是社会文化理论如何更多地与心理语言学和应用语言学新近理论成果相结合,全面关注影响个体认知发展的内在、外在因素,关注教育环境中发生的对话及其对学习的影响;采用更多样的统计方法,加强个案研究、微观研究、纵深研究。
