Classroom Strategies For Encouraging Collaborative Discussion The importance of collaborative academic talk, though, goes beyond English fairytales. produce coherence through managing topics, interactive tasks and http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/ncbepubs/directions/12.htm
Extractions: This article is written primarily for English as a second language (ESL), bilingual and mainstream teachers who have English language learners in their classroom. The methods and activities described throughout can be successfully adapted for use with elementary, middle, and high school students. In reworking these activities for their own classrooms, teachers will want to consider the literacy and English proficiency levels of their students, along with such factors as age, cultural and education background, and learning style. The Need for Collaborative Talk in the Classroom The consequences of a silent classroom are particularly discernible for the language minority English language learner (ELL). Students who are in the process of learning English need help developing their oracy skills as a foundation for becoming literate (Cullinan, 1993; Heller, 1995; Hudelson, 1994; Philips, 1972; Wollman-Bonilla, 1993). They need an environment where they can talk not only with their teacher, but also with their peers. It is important, then, to impress on ESL, bilingual and monolingual teachers who have ELLs in their classrooms the benefits of giving their students opportunities to use verbal language for different purposes and situations.
