Examining opportunities for dialogic talk in an English Language Development classroom
Thursday, May 31, 2018 at 3:30 PM–4:15 PM EDT
UL2: Ballroom Centre
Session Abstract
Dialogic talk, in which students are engaged in authentic, extended discourse where meaning is co-constructed and conceptual understanding is incrementally built, is an important aspect of ELD instruction. In this study, I examine how an inquiry-based science unit supported dialogic talk in a Kindergarten ELD classroom.
