Abstract
In this plenary session, I will synthesize current research on relationships between cognitive processes, social interaction, and L2 development to offer a holistic, sociocognitive perspective on how learners engage with classroom affordances. In doing so, I aim to provide nuanced implications for teaching and research that respond to the complex realities of the classroom more meaningfully than would an exclusively cognitive or social perspective. Given that our decision-making processes as teachers and researchers are shaped by how we understand our professional practices, I hope to expand the conceptual tools available for all as we respond to the needs of learners.”
