Summary Note |
This publication "addresses the role of interaction in learning to be literate. Through talk, teachers develop students' conscious knowledge about texts, meanings and literate practice. A strength of this book is the diverse classroom scenarios as presented by the teachers, overlaid by dialogue between teachers and researcher/mentors about changing teaching practice and pedagogy - through talk about talk." - Back cover. |
