The book explains how conversations function as powerful teachers and “sculptors,” shaping identities, beliefs, and emotions while helping learners connect ideas, solve problems, and communicate effectively. It also introduces academic conversation practices, structures, and assessment, supported by references and an index, with guidance spanning lesson activities, task design, grammar and vocabulary development, and discipline-specific examples.","Academic Conversations  \nAcademic Conversations  \nClassroom Talk That Fosters Critical Thinking and Content Understandings  \nJeff Zwiers & Marie Crawford  \nFirst published 2011 by Stenhouse Publishers.  \nPublished 2024 by Routledge  \n605 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017  \n4 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN  \nRoutledge is an imprint ofthe Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business Copyright © 2011 by Jeff Zwiers and Marie Crawford  \nAll rights reserved.
