An Investigation into Ways in Which Children "Talk Themselves into Meaning."

Lyle, Susan

Language and Education, v7 n3 p181-97 1993

Using transcripts of children's talk, this paper examines the validity of claims that children provided with opportunities to work cooperatively and collaboratively in small groups will use talk to help them make meaning and enhance their cognitive understanding. The claims are substantiated. (Contains 32 references.) (Author/LB)
