This paper attempts to explore and identify the characteristics of an effective teacher who teaches English as a second language to 10 year old students from different ethnics, various social economic background and multi-level language ability, at a private primary school in Malaysia. The study focused on classroom management using a case study methodology where data was collected using both interviews and classroom observations. The findings concur with previous literature reviews on effective teacher models whilst providing in-depth details on what transpires during classroom activities, thus clarifying further the meaning of effective classroom management. The implications of this study suggest the need to include six new classroom management behaviours of an effective teacher. Further research is warranted to help policy makers and school administrators in identifying the significance of these behaviours for the selection and training of future teachers.

“…The author identified five categories of written strategies used by students: (A) brainstorming; (B) use of prior knowledge; (C) use of the mother tongue; (D) pair scaffolding; and (e) use of humor. Different researches from sociocultural theory already referred to the social implications of scaffolding, among other strategies, for the language to have an effect on learning and development processes (Simeon, 2015;McNeil, 2012;Gagné, 2013;Khalili, Tahriri and Gholami , 2013).…”

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.

The unprecedented linguistic, cultural, and religious diversity of English as a second language (ESL), English as a foreign language (EFL), migrant, and refugee students can be a challenge for language educators worldwide. This complexity necessitates that both language and content‐area teachers take mandatory graduate coursework in TESOL, or attend professional development workshops to acquire specific strategies to work with the increasing number of English language learners (ELLs), develop pedagogical mastery of teacher talk (TT), and establish positive and constructive attitudes toward working with ELLs in K‐12, intensive English programs, and university ESL and EFL classroom contexts.
