This language serves as the input or data that learners internalize and use to express their own meanings in their interactions with others.” (Thomas & Collier, 2002) ]]> 2017-01-29 04:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rselsaadi/ijl8kft3ggrw/wish/150067590 rselsaadi https://padlet.com/rselsaadi/ijl8kft3ggrw/wish/150067599  Model and teach appropriate voice volume for classroom talk. • Establish and maintain a noise level that allows students to hear what others are saying. • Teach and revisit the rules of engagement for classroom talk. • Invite students to contribute to the rules and to problem-solve solutions to classroom issues. • Provide relevant topics, questions and challenges that engage students’ interests. • Plan for wait time so that students have time to think. • Ensure that students understand the focus and purpose of the talk in each learning activity. • Use organizational aids to focus and track discussion (e.g., anchor charts, jot notes, and graphic organizers).

This may be repeating what they think they have heard with rising intonation, turning it into a question, prompting the language learner to rethink and self-correct.
