This work is concerned with the effects or pedagogical influences of the so-called Sociolinguistics Approaches on Dominican College education, specifically at three groups of advanced EFL Classes at the State College, that is to say the Universidad Autonoma of Santo Domingo-UASD, during the last virtual and first semester of this year (2021-1), as a part of the Core Curriculum of the said institution. The emphasis was placed in determining how certain currents of the like had have a considerable influence in both the teacher's population as well as that of the students, resulting with not a new discovery, that Constructivism and Cognitivism were among others, like Vygotsky and Piaget the ones that still enjoy a great prestige in our academic world, not only for the EFL or ESL professors of the school of foreign languages, but also for the rest of the school and faculties such as Spanish letters, Philosophy, and Sociology. The results of this investigation are concretely offered through the discussion of the Research Questions in the final chapter of this research work, as a manner of conclusion.
