Ep.03 - The Effects of Language On Self-Confidence In Relation To Vygotsky's Cognitive Theory Language & People with William
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode, I compare and contrast the effects of Korean and American English and how each language affect a person's zone of proximal development in Lev Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development. Vygotsky argues that cognitive development is limited at any age range and in order to acquire a fuller cognitive development, social interaction is necessary. This in turn increases one's ability to handle mental or physical tasks in the zone of proximal development. This zone is where an individual increases their skills and tasks with the help of the more knowledgeable other.
I talk about my opinions on the effects of language, particularly Korean and English, on the thickness of these zones of proximal development.
