Review Article

James Lantolf’s 50-Year Research Contribution to SLA through Sociocultural Theory: A Systematic Review

Language Teaching Research Quarterly, Volume 46, Pages 362-402, https://doi.org/10.32038/ltrq.2024.46.22
idxml

Ali Panahi and Hassan Mohebbi review James P. Lantolf’s 50-years of research in Sociocultural Theory and language-related issues. They read through his whole research works spanning a period of almost 50 years. To accomplish the systematic review, varying procedures were operationalized. All of his research works were first browsed and attempted to be accessed, based on which the objective themes were extracted and James P. Lantolf’s overall achievements were represented. Then, on the ground of a subjective framework and impressionistic criteria, some exclusion and inclusion rules were created for the systematic review. Next, the analysis was performed in the light of five components including his research works, theoretical justification, practical justification, micro-themes and macro-themes. In the end, James P. Lantolf provided his personal discussion and reflection on the systematic review.
