Review of Lantolf 27 Aug 2002
By Matthew Platt - Published on Amazon.com
The main force behind Lantolf's book is to broaden the base of theories for second language acquisition (SLA). A major theme running through the text is the inadequacy of popular interactionist theories of SLA for explaining and describing language development, and the need for a research framework that accounts for the role of social context and collaborative dialogue. The text starts with a good overview of sociocultural theory, outlining the major aspects of the theory, including activity theory, inner/private speech and the zone of proximal development. The relevance of these areas are then discussed by a number of SLA theorists/researchers, with the aim of calling for a deeper, contextual and qualitative analysis of language learning interactions/tasks, and asserting the efficacy of sociocultural theory in facilitating and explaining effective language learning. A very readable book.

An Excellently Edited Collection of Sociocultural Articles for SLA theorists and Pyscholinguists 10 July 2006
By Ivan A. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Lantolf is probably the foremost authority on Sociocultural theory and its Vygotskyan psychological approaches to Second Language Acquistion. I used this volume for a comparison of Chomskyan UG and Vygotskyan Sociocultural theory for a Masters level final essay and received 93% for my efforts, much of the cited material came from this volume. Highly recommended!
Together with Dorothy Robbins' comprehensive review of Vygotsky in "Vygotsky's and A.A. Leontiev's Semiotics and Psycholinguistics : Applications for Education, Second Language Acquisition, and Theories of Language (Contributions in Psychology) (Hardcover)", these two books provide more than sufficient research in this interesting and innovative approach to SLA.
