Investigating classroom talk

by A.D. Edwards and D.P.G. Westgate (1987)

About this book

The first edition of this book in 1987 quickly achieved wide recognition as a major text on classroom studies and classroom language. In this fully revised and extended second edition, Tony Edwards and David Westgate draw on a wide range of classroom studies to show why recording and analysing the talk of teachers and students has been so prominent in the investigation of educational processes. Their emphasis is on methods of recording, analysing and interpreting talk as evidence and on what researchers - particularly teacher researchers - need to know to use those methods with a clear sense of their limits and possibilities. In this new edition all research evidence and bibliographic material has been revised and updated. The book will continue to be an important text for a new generation of students and researchers in language and linguistics, social science and education studies.

By unlocking the evolutionary information contained in cells, biologists have been able to construct the Tree of Life and show that its three main stems are dominated by microbes. Plants and animals constitute a small upper branch in one stem. Soon we may know how life began over 3.5 billion years ago. John Ingraham tells this story of discovery.--

Victor Gutenmacher, N.B. Vasilyev

"This newly revised and expanded edition includes more than 200 theoretical and practical problems in which formal geometry provides simple and elegant insight, and the book points the reader toward important areas of modern mathematics." "Lines and Curves is well positioned for companion use with software packages like The Geometer's Sketchpad, and it can serve as a guidebook for engineers. Its deeper, interdisciplinary treatment is ideal for more theoretical readers, and the development from first principles makes the book accessible to undergraduates, advanced high school students, teachers, and puzzle enthusiasts alike."--BOOK JACKET.
