Strategies of "Teacher Talk."

Patil, Prabhakar B.

IRAL, v32 n2 p154-65 1994

Examined the discourse patterns used by a native speaker of English while explaining the rules and playing the board game Monopoly with three college students of varying levels of English proficiency (low nonnative, good nonnative, and native). It found that the "teacher" must modify her speech to enable the nonnative speakers to comprehend the discourse. (11 references) (MDM)
