Examining the interactions between students learning in and through English as a second language and their teachers, this book identifies the patterns of discourse which support and enable both second language development and the learning of curriculum knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese patterns are ‘bridging discourses', combining the everyday language used by the student with the specialised language of the academic register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on second language acquisition research and systemic functional linguistic theory, in particular the work of Halliday and Vygotsky, Pauline Gibbons develops tools to view classroom talk through a powerful interdisciplinary lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePutting forward an innovative new theory of classroom discourse analysis, this book focuses on applying theory to practice.
