Talking Like Teachers: Teacher and Pupil Discourse in Botswana Primary Classrooms.
Arthur, Jo
Language, Culture and Curriculum, v7 n1 p29-40 1994
The role of teacher-talk in Botswana primary schools is discussed in view of evidence that pupils' contributions are outweighed by those of their teachers. The development of a genuinely bilingual model of education is advocated in which both teachers and pupils make full use of their linguistic resources. (17 references) (Author/LB)
