Publisher Description: The author attempts to answer the question of why ESL classroom talk is the way it is. Basing her answer on a case study of a school in an ESL community, she argues that classroom talk may be linked in important ways to an operative sociocultural structure of ESL pedagogy over and above the classroom at the institutional level. |
