Bridging Discourses in the ESL Classroom: Students, Teachers and Researchers

by Pauline Gibbons

Book Overview

Bridging Discourses in the ESL Classroom examines the interactions between learners and teachers in the language classroom. It aims to identify patterns of discourse which enable second language development but also support the learning of curriculum knowledge. These patterns are 'bridging discourses' in that they combine the everyday language used by the student, with the specialised language of the academic register.
