A Study on Language Learning Theories from a Sociolinguistic Perspective

Xuechun Shi

Abstract

This paper examines language learning via sociocultural theory, a key sociolinguistic branch. It analyzes its core views (e.g., social
interactions role), key concepts (mediation, internalization, ZPD), and teaching applications like interactive models and scaffolding. It also
discusses limitations and future trends, aiming to support language teaching and cross-cultural competence.
