I think that in society, children are surrounded by many influential models, such as parents within the family, characters on children's TV, friends within their peer group and teachers at school. These models provide examples of behavior to observe and imitate, e.g., masculine and feminine, pro and anti-social, etc.

Children pay attention to some of these people (models) and encode their behavior. At a later time they may imitate (i.e., copy). This theory proposed by Bandura leads to think that in the learning of a second language the imitation of a perfect model would guarantee a more effective learning. 
Although this theory is very similar to that of VIgotsky  the following differences can be identified: Bandura, to my way of understanding his theory, mentions that we can learn by forming cognitive representations of events that surround us and those we perceive in us same.
 Unlike the aforementioned, Lev Vigotski, introduces the "Near Development Zone" concept which is the distance between the actual level of development, determined by the capacity of an individual independently solve a problem or task and the level of potential development, through the resolution of a problem or task through the interaction of a facilitator or fellow experienced.

Cordial greeting classmate Mary Liliana:

The social theory developed by Albert Bandura, as you describe us, It can be analyzed the most widely used language learning strategies, It could also observe the degree of student commitment to learning, a focus on the development of student learning throughout of time, in the case of the independent variables, since the value-added models can offer a quantitative basis of greater precision and reliability for the learning strategies of a language, since the social context in which learning takes place is a factor of success that includes elements such as the opportunities they have to learn, either formally in the classroom or informal outside the classroom, in a country where the language is spoken in a native way.

I think your template is good, according to with the guide in the template and in the example that is in the forum header, one suggestion would specify which is the dependent variable and the independent variable in such a way that they are easy to identify in the topic of study.
 
Thank you very much for sharing your theoretical Perspective.

Cordially,

Classmate Mary,

 I liked this theory a lot because personally it is something that I use on a daily basis, observe other people and develop my own learning, it is a very good theory that I consider many people practice it, in fact social learning allows us to develop as individuals new skills and apply what we consider useful.

You could say that we absorb what we can use from other people and apply it to ourselves.
I consider the theory is very well explained is perfectly understood.

It is interesting the social theory of Vygotsky, the learning through social interaction, the socio-cultural environment of the students. As you emphasize, the social environment is crucial for the learning of a second language, since the social environment influences cognition through customs, cultural objects, language, and social institutions for the acquisition of knowledge that enhances skills communicative

Thank you very much for sharing your theoretical Perspective.

Cordially,

Olga Rivera

Classmate Jorge,

 This theory, like others reflect the actions of human beings and how their environment directly affects their social development, is that our customs and our environment develops certain skills very different from those of another person, in many cases our environment it helps us to develop skills that another person does not know and the same thing happens in opposite cases, there are people who learn things very different from those we know.

It is a confusing theory to understand but easy to apply.

Since my perspective, more than a theory, the use of multimedia in the teaching of the 21st century is a reality, it is a didactic resource to enhance pedagogical work in the classroom. I was investigating about Jing Lui a young Chinese architect and very little bibliography I found about this supposed theory. It is recognized by all that an appropriate use of multimedia allows teachers and students to optimize the teaching - learning process and make the most of it. But really, I did not find a solid theory in this argument. However, it is necessary to consider what is proposed in the document "Experimental Study on the effectiveness of multimedia in College English Teaching":

The students consider that, by improving the dynamics
of the classroom, it also improves your attention during explanations
(Jamet, Gavota & Quaireau, 2008), although
the faculty has observed that, although it had been
created greater expectation and interest, attention
It could fluctuate a lot throughout the class session.

Students recognize that by attending more and understanding
better, they experience improved retention
(Seufert, Schütze & Brünken, 2009). However,
the improvement of understanding and retention not
has led to a spectacular advance in the ratings
schoolchildren

 Regards

Cordial greeting, classmate Claudia:

In agreement with the experimental study on the Effectiveness of Multimedia in College English Teaching by author Jing Liu, based on empirical research and qualitative analysis, the document shows interesting findings that aim to explore the effectiveness of multimedia assistance methods in the teaching of university English. It seems and has been proven by some studies that multimedia assistance methods can effectively promote students' English learning. The same analysis of the document describes that the results of this study do not contribute positively to previous hypotheses. As the same title mentions that it is an experimental study, since to become a theory requires to build or be based on a series of hypotheses and be approved by scientists.

Classmate Claudia,

I consider that multimedia methods are a very useful tool currently and clearly are the best option as a teaching method whatever the area, it depends on the use that is given but with an adequate use allows to achieve a greater motivation in the student. how to improve your skills.

Andrea,

Analyzing his proposal, I take as a point of reference the proposition "Being bilingual is not an option but a duty" The exponential changes to which the globalization phenomenon has led us to make a turn in the acquisition of new competences and one of them it is the learning of a second language like English. But this learning has its demands Chamot (2004) states that learners need to explore different learning strategies such as metacognitive strategies so that, they can be able to plan, monitor, and are themselves throughout their learning efforts.

Equally, It been proved through several research works that English learners who were more proficient and more motivated used a wider range of strategies, and used them more frequently, than did learners who were less proficient and less motivated.

For these reasons, I consider that the proposal has a great influence in what concerns our training project.

As you well describe us more than a theory you used a study that has already been done and applied in Mexican students result of interesting findings especially the qualitative research using the questionnaire instrument, one of the theories that could be applied to this study could be the Theory Constructivist Jean Piaget 1942 since the author directed three lines fundamental: constructivism, the stages of development and the relationship between development and learning, taking into account what you mention and relates to memorization, practice, and repetition.

 I think your template is good, if I would change something in your template or correct, is maybe to resume a little bit more the text and the rest I think is good in my point of view.

Hello

Olga

I find it very interesting to apply Piaget's theory, particularly when it comes the acquisition of a second language. The explanation you make of the theory is clear when you mention that this theory holds that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism and that language depends on knowledge and understanding acquired through the cognitive development and the active participation and dedicated time. The above allows us to understand that the  children build an understanding of the world around them, experience discrepancies between what they know and what they discover in their environment.

Jorge Enrique

Classmate Olga,

This theory is very interesting as explained the development of our language depends on previously acquired knowledge, so I think it is very real, since each human being acts depending on where you are, and the sounds with which We have been growing, the cognitive development of our environment is a fundamental factor to adapt to an environment.

I liked the way this theory is exposed, because it is very clear and precise in its details.
