  15. Types of Language in the Classroom

  16. #1. Talking to control behavior. • Both teacher and child know that they already know the answers. • The teacher is steering the child through a match game, checking to see if she knows the answers.

  17. #2. Talking to manipulate towards a pedagogical end. • Any kind of classroom talk that is unnatural, that is directed toward pedagogical ends and not toward communication with children, is dishonest. • “Teacher Talk.” • “Pedagogical Register.” Higher pitch, exaggerated enunciation and intonational pattern.

  18. #3. Talking out of genuine interest. • The language is not contrived by the teacher to make her point. • It is allowed to range, as natural conversation often does, from topic to topic as attention shifts focus. • Functionally rich talk. • Children interact with each other as well as the teacher.

  19. Promote a language-rich classroom. • Show children their talk is valued. • Give children things to talk about. • Give children opportunities to talk in a variety of ways. • Give children many times during the day to talk. • Give children words to use in their talk.

  20. Listen to kids! They have a lot to teach us.
