| Summary: | Imitation has often been one of the vehicles used in second language(L2) acquisition particularly among young L2 learners. Prior to the emergence of the vgotskyan socio cultural notion, imitation was
confined to the behaviorist and cognitivist views. However, recent socio-cultural paradigm has included the context as part of a process in which L2 learners may develop their L2 semantic, syntactic, and lexical

to develop the target language via interactive imitation. |
