Private speech – internal communication, serving intellectual purpose (3-7)

Silent inner speech – private speech internalised, self-regulating function (7+)

Developing these tools is crucial for development

�External language heard and imitated becomes internalised during play

�Language transmits culture – reading, writing, chatting

�Scaffolding of a ‘more knowledgeable other’ is necessary to enable children to develop and communicate independently

�Zone of proximal development means that children learn what they are able to and are not overwhelmed with high expectations

Some children are quieter than other, no matter their English ability or understanding

Vygotsky is criticised for assuming high levels of knowledge, skill and social maturity from children to allow learning

Vygotsky is criticised for not finishing his work and being biased towards communist ideology

Some may argue that being a part of the whole class may allow better integration

This will impact them in social situations and also within their learning
