Interaction and Second Language Learning: Two Adolescent French Immersion Students Working Together.
Peer reviewedSwain, Merrill; Lapkin, Sharon – Modern Language Journal, 1998
Provides support for a theoretical orientation toward viewing dialog as both a means of communication and a cognitive tool.
