Don't worry.
I'm gonna explain them for you...
Sociocultural Theory
This theory has its origins in the writings of the  Russian psychologist Lev Vigotsky.
Vigotsky's research was based on:
The idea that human consciousness is fundamentally social, rahter than biological 
(Lantolf, 2015)
Vigotsky's research was based on:
Human activity is mediated by matrial artifacts and symbolic tools
Vigotsky's research was based on:
Holistic units of analysis should be used to understand human activity
(Lantolf, 2025)
This theory argues that human mental functioning is fundamentally a mediated process that is organized by cultural artifacts, activities, and concepts
(Ratner, 2002)

Now let's talk about
SOCIAL IDENTITY
This theory considers that individuals define their own identities with regard to social groups and...
... such identifications work to protect and bolster self-identity
(Kramsch, 2013)
Taijfel based this theory on the following assumptions (Robinson, 1966)
Individuals strive to mantain their self-steem
Social groups are associated with positive or negative value connotations
From these assumptions the following principles can be derived
(Taijfel, s.f)
Individuals try to mantain positive social identity
1
Positive social identity is based on favorable comparisons between the in-group and some relavant out-groups
2
To finish, let's talk about
Intercultural communicative competence
(ICC)
This is the ability to communicate and interact with people of other social group.
In the ICC, the relationship between language and culture is crucial.
What's the role of foreign language teachers?
Second Language teachers should have the expertise to prepare learners in order to interact successfully across language and culture
That's all for now.
Thanks for watching
