Conversation and Control: Analysis of Classroom Dynamics

Cramer, Hazel

French Review, 50, 4, 550-556, Mar 77

The degree of teacher control in a language conversation class will determine the success of the class. Beginning language classes seem to require a great deal of control; advanced conversation groups achieve more if sessions are student-run. Intermediate classes require control inversely proportionate to their skills. (CHK)
