Teachers' Discursive Practices: Co-Construction of Their Group Voices.
Torres, Myriam N.
Issues in Applied Linguistics, v7 n2 p251-78 Dec 1996
Focuses on teachers' group identity, seen as a process of co-construction of their group voices within the context of large-group dialogs. Findings identified three types of dialogs: conversation; discussion after a presentation; and interactional dynamics. Findings also indicated four types of teachers' voices: pragmatic; multiculturalist; critical; and socio-constructivist. (53 references) (Author/CK)
