Vygotsky : A central concept in Vygotsky theoretical is the role of social an individual learning development: Emphasizes in individual role social and collective. It fails to address how the external worlds is bridged across to the internal mind. It implies a “blinkered social consensualism.

For Vygotsky, the connection between the collective and individual consciousness exist trough the collective subjective with participation and contributions from its authentic beings now become not just larger than the total sum of individual beings, also qualitatively different existence. 

The role of language

Vygotsky´s focus in his psycholinguistic studies is on language use or world meaning, which he compared metaphorically to the living cells in a biological organism. His linguistic study was more like what we call today semantics and pragmatics.

The methodological approach Vygotsky developed to study then relationships between thinking and speaking process can also help inform investigations into the processes involving to acquiring capacity to communicative in a second language. To communicate an experience of some other content of consciousness to another person, it must be related to a class or group of phenomena. As we have pointed out, this requires generalization. Social interaction presupposes generalization and the development of verbal meaning; generalization becomes possible only with the development of social interaction. (Vygotsky, 1987, p. 48)
