    • * Item Description

    • <P><P>This book draws on extensive research to provide a ground-breaking new account of the relationship between dialogue and childrens learning development. It closely relates the research findings to real-life classrooms, so that it is of practical value to teachers and students concerned that their children are offered the best possible learning opportunities.</P><P>The authors provide a clear, accessible and well-illustrated case for the importance of dialogue in children's intellectual development and support this with a new and more educationally relevant version of socio-cultural theory, which explains the fascinating relationship between dialogues and learning. In educational terms, a sociocultural theory that relates social, cultural and historical processes, interpersonal communication and applied linguistics, is an ideal way of explaining how school experience helps children learn and develop.</P><P>By using evidence of how the collective construction of knowledge is achieved and how engagement in dialogues shapes children's educational progress and intellectual development, the authors provide a text which&nbsp;is essential for educational researchers, postgraduate students of education and teachers, and is&nbsp;also of interest to many psychologists and applied linguists.</P></P>
