Silence and the ESL Child.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Day, Richard R. – TESOL Quarterly, 1981
Five first-grade English as a Second Language children who had been labelled nonverbal were put in a more loosely structured, tension-free situation and were encouraged by the teacher to talk freely under a variety of circumstances. The new conditions aided teachers in eliciting a great deal of speech from the students. (Author/PJM)
