This volume presents oral discourse as central to the creation of
knowledge. More specifically, it examines how oral texts can be
successfully inter-connected to the written texts that are used on
a daily basis in schools. By presenting research that illuminates
how oral and written language function in school learning, this
book adds a semblance of balance and order to the past century's
conflicting theories about this issue. Rather than argue for the
prominence of one over the other, the goal is to help the reader
gain a rich understanding of how oral discourse and written texts
might work together to create a new discourse that ultimately
creates new knowledge. Talking Texts: How Speech and Writing
Interact in School Learning: provides historical background for the
study of talk and text; shows how talk, text, and meaning evolve,
moving beyond recitation, in the context of school learning;
presents examples of children's and adolescents' natural
conversations as analyzed by linguists; includes exemplars offorms
of talk and their evolution inside school contexts; contributes to
research on school discourse by considering communication that is,
at the same time, conversational and instructional--a style of talk
that has been scientifically shown to draw students into learning;
and, addresses talk as it interfaces with domains of knowledge
taught in schools--covering a range of subject areas--to show how
talk is related to and may be influenced by the structure,
language, and activities of a specific discipline.Bringing together
seminal lines of research to create a cohesive picture of discourse
issues germane to classrooms and other learning settings, this
volume is an essentialresource for researchers, graduate students,
classroom teachers, and curriculum specialists across the fields of
discourse studies, literacy and English education, composition
studies, language development, sociolinguistics, and applied
linguistics.
