Lev Vygotsky's socio-constructivist theory emphasizes
the importance of social interaction in cognitive
development. Regarding the concepts of "Zone of
Proximal Development" (ZPD) and mediation in language
learning, mark T, for true, and F, for false:
(__)The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the distance between what a learner can do without help and what they can achieve with the guidance and encouragement of a more knowledgeable other (MKO).
(__)In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching, mediation occurs only through the use of technological tools like computers or tablets, excluding the teacher's verbal interventions as a form of mediation.
(__)For effective mediation to occur, the teacher must provide tasks that are far beyond the student's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), ensuring that the learner feels frustrated enough to seek independent solutions.
(__)Socio-constructivist mediation suggests that peer interaction during group activities in the English classroom can facilitate the internalisation of new linguistic structures through collaborative dialogue.
After analysis, mark the option that presents the CORRECT sequence from top to bottom:
