Prekindergarten Children's Second Discourse Learning.

Kleifgen, Jo Anne

Discourse Processes, v13 n2 p225-42 Apr-Jun 1990

Examines prekindergarten children's process of learning a commonly occurring classroom discourse structure--an instructional exchange consisting of three moves: teacher solicitation, student response, and teacher reaction. Finds that children's success in learning the structure is a result of maturity and sociocultural factors rather than to native language ability. (KEH)
