The teacher initiates an assertion or asks a question.2. The student responds.3. The teacher provides feedback in order to encourage students to think and to perform at higher levels. How to incorporate more IRF and interpersonal communication into their teaching?1. Plan curriculum around interesting topics and contexts.2. Incorporate tasks that provide opportunities for engaging students in meaningful interaction and for asking assisting questions to move discussions forward.3. Introduce an interesting and personalized topic and engage only a few students in discussion so that they are able to take multiple turns.4. Plan opportunities for students to acquire new information and engage in activities in which there is an information gap with the teacher and peers on a topic important to them.5. Seek students' input regarding the types of topics that they would be interested in discussing in an open discussion format where divergent answers, opinions, and IRF have a role and students are instructed in how to make feedback moves during an interpersonal exchange (Judith L. Shrum & Eileen W. Glisan, 2005).==Go back to [Unit One - Introduction and Classroom discourse.html Unit One ]== Attachments: [download/attachments/5408159/F-1.jpg F-1.jpg] (image/pjpeg) [download/attachments/5408159/F-2.jpg F-2.jpg] (image/pjpeg) [download/attachments/5408159/F-3.jpg F-3.jpg] (image/pjpeg)
