Abstract:
 It has a detailed description of various ways of using classroom talk to 
promote student thinking.
Rationale:
 Both articles on communication seem to indicate that the classroom 
talk is a “language’ for teaching and learning. It can be verbal, non-verbal or 
unintended to communicate content and control behaviour all at once. Teachers 
must therefore communicate to the learners with utmost clarity.
