In recent years, with increased attempts to account for learning within a social- constructivist framework, the association between social context and learning has become a popular topic of L2 research. This paper explores the social and cognitive functions of peer-assisted learning (PAL) tasks in a content-based L2 classroom. Observing the effects of PAL tasks within the theoretical framework of Vygotskian social constructivism, this study highlights the role of language, either L1 or L2, as a tool of semiotic mediation between learners. In addition, this study investigates whether a peer-assisted learning context promotes positive attitudes and increases academic performance, as opposed to a teacher-driven context. The study examines the effects of two classroom contexts by comparing students’ attainment of positive attitudes and of content knowledge of the principles of language teaching. For the purpose of the study, a lecture-driven context was compared with a PAL context in light of the effect on students’ learning. Findings of the study will be reported, along with their pedagogical implications.
Abstract
In recent years, with increased attempts to account for learning within a social- constructivist framework, the association between social context and learning has become a popular topic of L2 research. This paper explores the social and cognitive functions of peer-assisted learning (PAL) tasks in a content-based L2 classroom. Observing the effects of PAL tasks within the theoretical framework of Vygotskian social constructivism, this study highlights the role of language, either L1 or L2, as a tool of semiotic mediation between learners. In addition, this study investigates whether a peer-assisted learning context promotes positive attitudes and increases academic performance, as opposed to a teacher-driven context. The study examines the effects of two classroom contexts by comparing students’ attainment of positive attitudes and of content knowledge of the principles of language teaching. For the purpose of the study, a lecture-driven context was compared with a PAL context in light of the effect on students’ learning. Findings of the study will be reported, along with their pedagogical implications.
