《现代语言杂志》社会文化理论东亚专刊征稿

外语学术科研网 语言科学 2021-09-19

Introduction



The Modern Language Journal (MLJ) is an international refereed journal dedicated to promoting scholarly exchange among researchers and teachers of all modern foreign languages and English as a foreign language (L2). The journal is particularly committed to publishing high quality work in non-English languages. Its publication focus is further defined by linking the findings of research to teaching and learning in a variety of settings and on all educational levels.




Sociocultural Theory (SCT) proposes that higher forms of consciousness, as Vygotsky described them, result from our engagement with the world, a process that is mediated through interaction with others and our use of available resources, notably language. Vygotsky himself understood the theory to have profound implications for how we think about learning and development and how we might create educational environments. Since the 1980s, SCT has been vigorously pursued by L2 scholars, mostly in Western countries. More recently, East Asia has witnessed considerable interest in SCT as a framework for researching foreign language teaching and learning and as a basis for designing new practices. The aim of this proposed special issue is to publish original research articles that reflect the most recent advances in SCT-L2 research carried out in East Asian contexts, where the theory’s contributions to meeting unique challenges are matched by the importance of that scholarship to promoting the theory’s own development.


James P. Lantolf and Matthew E. Poehner will serve as the guest editors for the special issue. East Asia SCT Group (established in May 2019 at Xi’an Jiaotong University) will assist them. We welcome proposals for original research on different languages by scholars working in East-Asian educational institutions (Abstracts from scholars working outside of the East-Asian context will not be considered).

中 文 版

《现代语言杂志》(SSCI)是二语习得领域历史悠久、最具学术影响力的国际知名期刊之一,由Wiley-Blackwell出版,旨在促进英语和其它语种教师和研究者之间的交流,尤其关注不同地域和不同级别的非英语语种研究成果。


社会文化理论的核心是意识作为人的高级心理机能源于社会文化互动,通过他人或可用资源(尤其是语言)的中介调节作用形成。维果斯基认为该理论对理解学习、发展以及如何创设教育环境具有深刻意义。自上世纪八十年代,二语习得领域的西方学者在该理论发展方面做了大量探索。最近十多年来,东亚地区的学者也对该理论指导下的外语教学表现出了浓厚的兴趣。鉴于此,本专刊拟择优选取该地区具有代表性的高质量创新成果进行发表,以体现SCT理论在解决本地区特有问题方面的贡献和这些研究对理论发展的推动作用。
