Selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine, January
2010 Classroom talk, by which children make sense of what their peers
and teachers mean, is the most important educational tool for guiding
the development of understanding and for jointly constructing
knowledge. So what practical steps can teachers take to develop
effective classroom interaction? Bringing together leading
international researchers and drawing on the pioneering work of
Douglas Barnes, this book considers ways of improving classroom talk.
Chapters cover: - classroom communication and managing social
relations; - talk in science classrooms; - using critical
conversations in studying literature; - exploratory talk and thinking
skills; - talking to learn and learning to talk in the mathematics
classroom; - the ′emerging pedagogy′ of the spoken word. With an
accessible blend of theory, research and practice, the book will be a
valuable resource for teachers, teacher-trainers, policy makers,
researchers and students.
