[Xmca-l] Re: CHAT introductory articles?

[David Kellogg]

Do you know, Greg, one of the papers I've always found most undergraduate
friendly is the chapter by Mescharyakov on Vygotsky's terminology in the
Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky?

I really don't know why this is. Maybe because one of the first questions
you get is why it should be called "Cultural Historical" (rather than, as
the French put it, "historico-cultural" or "sociocultural", or whatever).
And Mescharyakov's answer is really, it shouldn't be, unless you are
working on problems of that particular timescale.

Even though we were not really working on problems of that timescale,
Shushu was so taken with it that we included a summary in our paper for the
MLJ:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1540-4781.2011.01236.x

If some of your undergrads are planning on going into ELT, her work might
be a good place to start (although starting with a summary of a starting
place is a little like announcing that you are going to get up and then
snoring off again....)
