Abstract

Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, featured by unique territoriality and ethnic characteristics, is a culturally-unique and regionally-desolated settlement for multiethnic groups. Both unique territoriality and ethnic characteristics, to some extent, hinder students’ English acquisition in Garze primary and middle schools. Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, especially such key terms of the theory as meditation, zone of proximal development, and internalization, can shed lights on students’ English acquisition in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
