Through its constuctivist orientation and Sociocultural perspective, this book contributes to an improved understanding of what it means to read and, particularly, to recall, second language texts in the context of both second language reading and research. It also serves as an introduction to Sociocultural Theory and demonstrates the usefulness of this type of analysis, not only of written recall protocols, but of other forms of learner language. Finally, it attempts to illustrate the nature of activity in relation to task, by showing the diverse ways in which learners approach the task of writing a recall protocol.
REGINA ROEBUCK is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Linguistic at the University of Louisville. She continues to research second language learning from a Vygotskian perspective, particularly the use of cognitive tools by second language learners.
