Creating Classroom Conversations with Deaf Children.
Musselman, Carol; Hambleton, Don
ACEHI Journal, v16 n2-3 p68-90 1990
Five teachers using a conversational approach to language teaching with hearing-impaired students were studied. Teachers tended to exert a high level of conversational control, though conversational control decreased over time. The children (ages 4-10) exhibited language growth in their imitations and responses but not in spontaneous utterances. (Author/JDD)
