A Case Study on the Application of Socio-cultural Theory in International Chinese Language Classrooms

-- An Example of the Teaching Practice of Learning Chinese with Teachers

Abstract

Research on sociocultural theory in second language acquisition is common, but there are few concrete methodological results for frontline teachers. In this paper, we first summarize the development of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory as the theoretical support of this paper; secondly, we use the sociocultural theory as the guide to design the teaching of the lesson "Learning Chinese with a Teacher", and describe in detail the implementation of the teaching process. Finally, it analyzes how to apply such a basic theory as socio-cultural theory to the practice of language teaching in a more grounded way from the perspective of teachers.
