A Vygotskian approach to evaluation in foreign language learning contexts

Andréa Machado de Almeida Mattos

Holds a BA in TEFL, and has been teaching EFL since 1983. At present she is a graduate student in Applied Linguistics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and her main area of interest is teacher development. She has been published in Brazil and abroad. Email: amam{at}horizontes.net

This study is based on the Vygotskian concepts of the zone of proximal development, scaffolding, private speech, and task and activity, as presented by Lantolf and Appel (1994). The research design draws on work by Donato (1994) and Coughlan and Duff (1994), and applies their ideas to suggest a sociocultural approach to the evaluation of EFL learners, which provides a better setting for language learning and teaching.
