| Abstract | Second language acquisition (SLA) is a complex, interdisciplinary field of study which has its roots in subjects as varied as cognition and psychology to social applications and actions in anthropology and sociology (Han & Nassaji, 2019). Nearly a century ago, Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky attempted to connect the seemingly disparate areas of society, culture, and cognition in his unifying, wide-angle theory called Sociocultural Theory (SCT). While this theory aims to provide a wide-ranging, general theory for human learning and cognition, it has been adapted in SLA in a few key areas, in particular, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky claimed that learning is essentially a mediated process, and that a learner's abilities at any point in time can be understood as three layers: (1) what the learner can do unaided; (2) what the learner can do with mediation; and (3) what the learner cannot do, even with mediation. It is this middle tier of ability, i.e., what the learner can do with mediation, that Vygotsky identified as the Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky, 1986). This theoretical notion of ZPD and the use of mediation in the form of social interaction to increase learning and expand individual knowledge is the basis of each study reviewed for this paper.
