Reflections on the Relationship Between Language, Curriculum Content, and Instruction.
Saunders, William; And Others
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v10 n1 p30-51 1997
Discusses the experience of Grade four students transitioning from Spanish to English in reading a short story in English and then participating in one of two story-related videotaped lessons: an Instructional Conversation and a basal-like reading comprehension lesson. Findings reveal that the quality of classroom talk can be traced into eventual student uptake of curricular content. (41 references) (Author/CK)
