Challenging Learning Through Dialogue

Challenging Learning Through Dialogue: Strategies to Engage Your Students and Develop Their Language of Learning (International Edition)

by James Nottingham, Jill Nottingham and Martin Renton

There is substantial evidence that teachers currently talk too much in classes, often only waiting 0.8 seconds after asking a question before jumping in with the answer if a student doesn't quickly volunteer. In this book, the authors define the qualities of the best type of dialogue - explorative - and provide dozens of practical strategies and examples for how teachers can lead productive discussions as a whole class, with large groups, and with small groups.
