Using Talk Effectively in the Primary Classroom

"Using Talk Effectively in the Primary Classroom presents a balanced view of whole class teaching that recognises the importance of classroom talk in teaching and learning. The authors look closely at the language used by skilled and experienced teachers across a range of settings, to offer invaluable insights for best practice and improved learning outcomes. Throughout the book the role of the learner is as carefully considered as the role of the teacher."--BOOK JACKET.
