Language Learning in Context: Teacher and Toddler Speech in Three Classroom Play Areas.
O'Brien, Marion; Bi, Xiufen
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v15 n2 p148-63 Sum 1995
Patterns of teacher language used with at-risk toddlers in three different play contexts (doll/house, block/truck, and large motor) were studied within a naturally occurring classroom setting. Significantly different language-use patterns by teachers were found in each area, and these were associated with differences in the rate and nature of child language. (Author/SW)
