"Investigating Classroom Discourse presents language use and interaction as the basis of good teaching and learning, and provides teachers and researchers with the tools to analyse classroom discourse and move towards more effective instruction. The book provides an overview of the existing approaches to describing and analysing classroom discourse and identifies the principal characteristics of classroom language in the contexts of second language classrooms, primary and secondary classrooms and higher education settings."--Jacket.
