Talk is the first linguistic skill that children develop and it is their primary means of learning about the world. Teachers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the value of talk as a classroom resource. This book develops a discussion linking principles of language learning with classroom practices. The discussion focuses on the teacher as decision maker, determining student needs and creating authentic situations which call on students to extend the range of purposes for which they can use language.Dudley-Marling, Curtis is the author of 'When Students Have Time to Talk Creating Contexts for Learning Language', published 1991 under ISBN 9780435085889 and ISBN 0435085883.
