This accessible 'how to' text is about classroom interaction -
how to study it and how to use that knowledge to improve teaching
and learning. Actually showing what critical, constructionist,
sociocultural perspectives on teaching, learning, and schooling are
and what they can do, it makes discourse analysis understandable
and useful to teachers and other nonlinguists.
Using Discourse Analysis to Improve Classroom Interaction:
- offers teachers the powerful tools of discourse analysis as a
way of understanding the complex dynamics of human interaction that
constitute effective, equitable teaching and learning
- guides readers step-by-step through how to build their
interactional awareness to improve their teaching
- includes 'Try It Out' exercises to engage readers in learning
how to respond to the social dynamics of their classrooms for the
purpose of improving classroom interaction.
Proceeding from simple illustrations to more complex layering of
analytical concepts, short segments of talk, transcribed to
highlight important points, are used to explain and illustrate the
concepts. By the time readers get to the complicated issues
addressed in this text they are ready to deal with some of
teaching's toughest challenges, and have the tools to build
positive relationships among their students so that all can
participate equally in the classroom.
