“…It is possible to approach a language-related topic from a sociocultural perspective with a mixed methodology and this could be seen as a conclusion suggested by the way the studies were designed. Gagné and Parks, 2013;Juffs and Friedline, 2014;Korenev et al, 2016;Monforte and Ceballos, 2014;Myhill and Wilson, 2013;Prevoo et al,2013 achieved this goal and their results show a more comprehensive and deep view. This is a key issue for future research, as mixed research would facilitate the design of longitudinal research, another of the shared suggestions, by allowing more options for gathering and analyzing information.…”

“…The study of context assessment, social use and shared learning experiences have been determinants for measuring the level of the language, and it becomes a recurrent stance in scientific literature on the sociocultural perspective and a language topic (Yang andKim, 2011, Wingyan, 2014). Learning a second language will affect academic contexts, as Korenev et al (2016) stated but its impact is not limited. Ahn (2011) examined the interchange of language and interactions among second language learners outside their academic context.…”

“…For example, Korenev et al (2016) studied teachers who used English as a second language in their classes, among other issues. They have noticed that a large number of teachers who have read a book and researched how to teach a language, have compared and commented Laboy Rodríguez, Julián Alí y Maldonado Martinez, José Antonio (diciembre, 2017).…”

Estudo da linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural Estudio del lenguaje desde una perspectiva sociocultural Received on April 22, 2017. Accepted on July 17, 2017Julián Alí Laboy Rodríguez** Puerto Rico José Antonio Maldonado Martínez*** Puerto Rico AbstractObjetive: this paper aims to determine the contributions of recent research on language from a sociocultural perspective. Methodology: a thematic content analysis was performed based on preestablished categories: internal language, teaching types, bilingualism, and other emerging categories: games and practical participation. Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR and RedALyC were the sources of information and 38 published research articles were selected from indexed journals since 2010. Results: from the sociocultural perspective, it was evident that, these studies contribute to a diversity of issues related to language, such as: practical participation, the process of change from a guided to an internal language, the 18 learning a second language. Conclusions: it is concluded that some topics will seem to be studied in abundance but not from a Sociocultural Theory perspective. The human being is a product of different social, cultural and individual contexts; thus, there will always be different approaches to address issues related to language. ResumoObjetivo: determinar as contribuições de pesquisas recentes sobre a linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural. Metodologia: uma análise de conteúdo temática foi realizada com base em categorias pré-estabelecidas: linguagem interna, tipos de educação, bilinguismo, e outras de caráter emergente: jogo e participação na prática. As bases de dados que foram utilizadas para a busca foram Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR e RedALyC. Foram selecionadas 38 pesquisas publicadas em revistas indexadas desde 2010. Resultados: evidenciou-se que, desde a perspectiva sociocultural, os estudos fornecem uma variedade de temas relacionados à linguagem, como a participação na prática, o processo de mudança de uma linguagem dirigida a uma interna, a importância do jogo no desenvolvimento, benefícios do ensino explícito e o impacto da aprendizagem de uma segunda língua. Conclusões: conclui-se que algumas questões parecem saturadas, mas uma teoria sociocultural apostaria a que na realidade isso é inverossímil. O ser humano é o resultado de diferentes contextos sociais, culturais e individuais, de modo que sempre existirão diferentes perspectivas para abordar questões relacionadas à linguagem.

“…There is a view that teacher language proficiency standards should be defined in relation to the particular context of instruction and in light of what is realistic given available training resources in order to deliver lesson content appropriately and effectively. Teacher language tests aim at assessing the teacher in the actual classroom situation (Korenev et al, 2016).…”

In the 21 st century globalization accelerates the need for English communication skills as English is recognized as a lingua franca in the business world. A high priority of university educators involved in LSP (LSP -language for special purposes) training is to equip graduates with communicative LSP skills meeting the standards of huge and increasingly competitive job market. The study addresses the issue on how to close the current gap between prospective employers' expectations of English communication skills level and the existing LSP level of graduates. The study aims at, first, to reveal the effect of English globalization on employability from the perspective of university students; second, to identify factors leading to reticence in speaking; and third, to provide a solution to the problem of gap between graduates' oral skills and employers' expectations. The study uses two questionnaires as an instrument to collect data. The obtained quantitative data is used as an input for qualitative study. The study certifies that undergraduates are fully aware of the utmost importance of English language for employment. Also, the study identifies the main social and psycholinguistic reasons hindering to develop speaking skills in the university settings. Further, the research findings have been used to develop and integrate into university training curricula an intensive 3-module program meeting the real needs of students and business community. The goal of this program is to equip students with excellent English communication skills meeting the rapidly changing job market demands. The findings of the study suggest that LSP training offered at higher school should be improved to meet job market requirements. The study enabled to assess the instruction results and provide a solution to the problem of "competency gap". It points to where the real work of closing the gap between the need for workforce skilled in English communication and actual graduates' skill level needs to happen.

“…Por ejemplo, Korenev et al (2016) estudiaron el uso del lenguaje por maestros en clases de inglés como segundo idioma, entre otros asuntos. Estos han notado que una gran cantidad de los maestros que han leído un libro e investigado sobre cómo enseñar un idioma, han cotejado y comentado trabajos escritos por los estudiantes en el idioma inglés y proveen retroalimentación a sus estudiantes luego de presentaciones, entre otros.…”
