- W1978393466 abstract "The discussion class is a frequently troublesome experience for ESL teachers. One finds little guidance on the conduct of such classes in journals or teacher training classes. Furthermore, a number of problems peculiar to this type of class are not normally encountered in the teacher's regular classroom work. The resolution of these problems begins with the understanding that a discussion class is not primarily an intellectual exercise, but a language learning experience. And the key to a successful language-learning discussion is to design interesting topics and questions that are within both the intellectual and linguistic competence of the students. Some background, or common grounds experience, must precede the class discussion itself. The discussion is most effective if the instructor employs a judicial mixture of two types of questions: first, information retrieval questions to confirm the background, and then articulation questions, i.e., those eliciting a personal reaction or conceptual answer, to fuel the discussion. The teacher must be primarily a catalytic agent and only rarely an active discourser. He must therefore be careful to correct the students, but not overcorrect, and to direct the discussion, but not overdirect. Done well, the ESL discussion class can be an exceptionally interesting and productive mechanism for developing the student's confidence and improving his language proficiency." @default.
