The Use of Language Functions in Mathematical Group Games. Teacher Insights.
Black, Carolyn; Huerta, Maria G.
Bilingual Research Journal, v18 n3-4 p161-67 Sum-Fall 1994
Six group games were introduced into a second-grade bilingual classroom. Children's talk during each game was classified using a modification of Dyson's five language functions (representational, directive, heuristic, personal, and interactional). Group games provided many communication opportunities. Some children tried new communication styles. (Author/SV)
