Abstract There is increasing agreement among those who study classrooms that learning likely to be most effective when students are actively involved in the dialogic coconstruction of meaning about topics significance them. This article reports results an extended collaborative action research project which teachers attempted create conditions for such dialogue by adopting inquiry approach curriculum. A quantitative comparison between observations made early and late teachers' involvement...
ABSTRACT Samples of the speech addressed by adults to a socially representative sample 2-year-olds in naturally occurring contexts interaction were analysed with respect syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse features determine which most strongly associated gain children on variety measures language development over ensuing 9 months. Following principal components analysis adult variables, highly loading variables first six correlated children's scores. Polar interrogatives,...
Both Vygotsky, a psychologist, and Halliday, social linguist, argue for the central role of language in human development. Language is principal mode meaning making; it mediates both communication through which thinking with others made possible also inner speech individual brought under conscious control. I develop this claim by drawing on writings Vygotsky Bakhtin, as well those their colleagues followers to importance encouraging dialogue all educational settings order enable learners...
Drawing on Cummins' (1989) linguistic interdependence model, proponents of bilingual-bicultural models literacy education for deaf students claim that, if ASL is well established as the L1, then in English (L2) can be achieved by means reading and writing without exposure to through either speech or English-based sign. In our opinion, this based a false analogy: situation learner does not match conditions assumed model. We draw work Vygotsky Halliday develop conceptualization processes...
Teaching and learning are largely conducted through talk, yet the relationship between talk activity goals it is intended to achieve rarely problematized or treated as a matter for conscious choice. In this paper, I describe tool analysis of classroom developed in context teacher-researcher collaboration, which draws upon theory systemic linguistics. Three main units proposed: episodes chief interactional means by actions operationalized; sequences from such constructed; and, minimally,...
Activity Theory as formulated by Leont'ev and expanded Engeström has tended to emphasize activity systems in which the objects subjects' actions are directed material form. In such accounts, discourse-if considered at all-is treated just one of artifacts or practices that mediate subject's object-directed actions. As several scholars have pointed out, however, this model does not provide a satisfactory account dialogue semiotic explanations, theories created co-construction meaning two more...
This text is an account by teachers of the inquiries into practice they have undertaken in their own classrooms. The contributing share a common social-constructivist framework. They focus upon dialogue through which knowledge constructed classroom.
To be literate, the author proposes, is to have disposition, as composer or interpreter, engage with a text in one more different modes according type of involved and one's purpose using it. Five engagement are distinguished: performative, functional, informational, re-creational, epistemic. However, only epistemic mode, it argued—in which meaning treated tentative, provisional, open alternative interpretations revision—fully exploits potential literacy empower thinking those who use it.The...
The immunometabolic mechanisms underlying suboptimal T cell immunity in tuberculosis remain undefined. Here, we examine how chronic Mycobacterium (Mtb) and M. bovis BCG infections rewire metabolic circuits alter effector functions lung CD8+ cells. As Mtb infection progresses, mitochondrial metabolism deteriorates cells, resulting an increased dependency on glycolysis that potentiates inflammatory cytokine production. Over time, these cells develop bioenergetic deficiencies reflect...
The ability to detect evidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection within human tissues is critical the study Mtb physiology, tropism, and spatial distribution TB lesions. capacity widely-used Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining method for identifying acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in tissue highly variable, which can limit detection research diagnostic purposes. Here, we sought circumvent these limitations via mRNA secreted antigens tuberculous tissue.
