    1. EED112 11304162 Introduction - Language development learning in the context of schooling is underpinned by the influence of discourse communities& wider socio-cultural approaches to language & learning.

    2. EED112 11304162 Discourse communities Gee defines a discourse as a socially accepted association among ways of using language that, of thinking & of acting that can justify oneself as a member of a socilly meaning group or social network (Gee 1991, p.1). People within the same discourse community often take the same meanings from symbols & semiotic systems.

    3. EED112 11304162 Discourse communities cont. Insiders share an understanding of the topic, outsiders dont. An example of an outsider to a discourse community- Jacques (Knobel, 1999) Gee suggests there are 2 levels of discourse- primary (informal) & secondary (formal). Secondary builds on primary.

    4. EED112 11304162 Socio-cultural approaches Socio-cultural theory sees human development as an intrinsically social rather than indivualistic (Gibbons, 2002, p.8). Droga & Humphreys state that Halliday believes that sociall language is - functional, a resource for making meaning & language is influenced by the context of use. (Droga & Humphrey, 2003)

    5. EED112 11304162 Socio- cultural cont.2 Gibbons believes there are 2 dominant ideologies towards schooling: that of trasmission & reception of knowledge & that of the progressive (Pauline Gibbons Teaching as mediation: scaffolding second language learning through classroom interaction). ZPD- the gap between what a child can do independently & what they need aid with.

    6. EED112 11304162 Socio-cultural cont. 3 Children should be challenged within the ZPD. Scaffolding in educational terms is very similar to building terms- temporary support is given & then it is gradually taken down as progression is made. Three stage- diagnosis,planning, withdrawal.

    7. EED112 11304162 Schooling Scholing is the practical application of teaching theories. Droga & humphrey have idnified 3 domains (Droga & Humphrey, 2003)- everyday domain, specialised domain & critical domain. Teacher/learning cycle (Love, Pigdon, Baker, Hamston 2002)

    8. EED112 11304162 Schooling cont. IRF- initiation, response,feedback (Love,Pigdon,Baker,Hamston 2002)

    9. EED112 11304162 Conclusion In conclusion, language learning is very much a social practice heavily influenced by both the primary & secondary discourses of the student. Which ultimately sees schooling as being underpinned by Discourse communities & the socio-cultural approaches to language & learning.
