LANGUAGE 

The concept of language can be understood as a resource that makes communication possible. For humans, this tool is extremely developed and it is much more advanced than in other animal species, since it is a process of physiological and psychological roots. Language, as many of you know, it gives the possibility to every human being to select, quote, coordinate and combine concepts of varying complexity. In other words the definition of Language could be: - Own capacity of human beings to express thoughts and feelings through words. - Sign system that uses a community to communicate orally or in writing.

 VYGOTSKY'S THEORY 

 Constructivism as a school of thought seeks the teacher is active in the teaching and the student develops naturally mental activities. Social constructivism emphasizes the interaction and cooperative learning works if there is no motivation for the exchange of information, self-learning and others. Learning a second language helps us better understand our mother tongue, and thus acquire new knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. A characteristic of constructivism is its integration of linguistic, psychological, and sociological paradigms. The ZPD is the gap between what the child and what you can learn through stimuli and partners, teachers and competent adults. Example. Role playing is important when it comes to learning a second language, because it allows the interaction among students, decreases shyness, there is active participation, cooperation and teamwork, learning is significant. (You can use this technique when teaching topics as greetings, meals, shopping).
