Classroom Discourse and Teacher Development

An expert, in-depth, thought-provoking and innovative discussion of the centrality of classroom disource in second language classes. Taking into account the theoretical and technological advances in discource analysis, it also proposes concrete ways to better integrate CIC as a core component of teach training programmes. A must read for future and in-service language teachers, teacher trainers and researchers in applied linguistics. -- Fanny Meunier, Universite Catholique de Louvain * English Text Constructions *
This textbook is a valuable contribution to the field of language teaching and learning and teacher education. Unlike most texts in this field, which are generally verbose and not explicit in focus, this text has a tight focus on introducing new approaches to reflective practice in language teacher education... This is a thought-provoking textbook that will hopefully invite further research. It is recommended for language teachers, teacher educators, researchers, linguists, and anyone interested in the field of language teaching. -- Deborah Vinci-Minogue, Dominican University * Linguist List *
