Teaching and Learning as a Linguistic Process: Social Interactionist/ Sociocultural Perspectives on the Study of Uptake

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (Original Language): 
In this article, a broader conceptualization of uptake from both social interactionist and Vygotskyan sociocultural perspectives has been presented. The main implications of social interactionist perspective were discussed, and how viewing teaching and learning as a linguistic process can help us have a broader perspective about classroom discourse was examined. In the second part of the paper, the previous literature on uptake was reviewed and also how mainstream SLA treats and examines language and language learning is taken into consideration. In the last part of the article, “revoicing”, as a possible alternative for uptake, was presented and its significance in second language classrooms was argued.
