Enhancing Conceptual Learning by Understanding Levels of Language-Rich Teaching.
Pinkerton, K. David
Electronic Journal of Science Education, v3 n1 Sep 1998
A year-long study was conducted in three high school physics classes to provide empirical support for the existence of levels of language-rich teaching. Three levels of language-rich teaching were investigated: (1) low level by hands-on; (2) medium level by small groups; and (3) high level by active mental processing (AMP) journal keeping.
