A Probe Into Implicit And Explicit Learning From The Perspective Of Sociocultural Theory

In recent years, there have been two shools in the field of second languageacquisition：cognitive theory and sociocultural theory. In the1960s, secondlanguage acquisition research starting burgeoning mainly affected by cognitivetheory. Since nineteen centuries mid eighty sociocultural theory gradually beformed and developed. Vygotsky’ Sociocultural Theory is the mainrepresentative of sociocultural theory, due to the explicit and implicit learningresearch is the basic research problems in the field of second languageacquisition, therefore the explicit and implicit learning research is also becomedebate focus. However, implicit learning in the application fields such aseducation is still in initial stage. Implicit learning is an unconscious process thatacquires the complex knowledge in stimulating environment; explicit learning isa conscious learning process. Modern psychology also suggests that in additionto conscious learning forms, there is implicit learning which has been hiddenform unconscious learning. Application of implicit learning concept is to makepeople aware of the psychological phenomenon learning is more complex thanwhich we thought thousands of years ago.With deeply study, more and more researchers in SLA field they do notisolated explicit learning or implicit learning, they began to find a new way thattry to be combined with explicit learning and implicit learning, researchers tryingto shift the focus of research for explicit implicit learning related part.Researchers trying to research focus for the parts of explicit implicit learningassociated.In this paper, the author by Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of mediationtheory and internalization theory, detailed analysis of the dominant and recessivein the field of second language acquisition study of the characteristics anddifferences.In this paper,the author reviewed the foreign domestic for explicit implicit learning in the field of second language acquisition research literature,for the current home and abroad for English dominance of the opposite sex insecond language acquisition to understand present situation of the study, infurther research has been carried out on the basis of these scholars studies.In thefield of second language acquisition abroad, for explicit implicit learningresearch for a long time, relative to the domestic scholars for explicit implicitlearning research is relatively mature. The author carried out the research methodby experimental.From the experiment, this article tries to explore the effect of explicitlearning and implicit learning in English grammar learning. In the experiment,author chooses90university students as subjects, experimental results provedthat the hypothesis of the author. The90students proved that the implicitlearning process exists, and there is relative to the explicit learning, and it hasbetter learning effect. Meanwhile, the authors do not ignore the link betweenexplicit learning and implicit learning, the experimental results prove thatcombination of explicit learning and implicit learning has better learning effect.This paper under the sociocultural perspective, analyzes the advantages anddisadvantages of the explicit and implicit learning in English grammar learningin second language acquisition research, and gives some suggestions on grammarteaching mode in foreign language teaching in the future.
