Learning from Classroom Questions and Answers: Teachers' Uncertainties About Children's Language.
Edwards, Barbara; Davis, Boyd
Journal of Literacy Research, v29 n4 p471-505 Dec 1997
Examines K-2 teachers' perceptions and evaluations of how students (who spoke marginalized or stigmatized varieties of English) in a low-income, multiethnic, inner-city school answer classroom questions. Finds ambiguity in teacher questions which created problems for students accustomed to different discourse practices. Works with the teachers to modify their ways of listening to children. (RS)
