The Impact of Small Talk on Student Language Learning Proficiency

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of small talk on students' language learning abilities. Small talk is considered an effective means of acquiring a language in everyday communication, and its linguistic, social, and psychological functions in language learning are examined. The role of small talk is substantiated through language acquisition theories, particularly Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach. The research scientifically demonstrates how small talk enhances vocabulary, improves pronunciation, reinforces the practical use of grammar, and develops communicative skills.
