Barwell, Richard – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
I report the results of an analysis of an episode of elementary school second language mathematics classroom talk focused on the classification of geometric forms, drawing on a dialogic, sources of meaning perspective. The episode was selected because participants make use of a variety of features of language, including vocabulary, gestures and…

Graif, Foster; Baldinger, Erin E.; Campbell, Matthew P. – The Mathematics Educator, 2021
Responding to student errors is a complex practice that connects teachers' vision and goals around students, mathematics, and teaching. We explore teacher candidates' (TCs) reflections on responding to errors during rehearsals of whole-class discussion to gain insight into the vision and goals that might influence their thinking. We discuss five…

Smith, Erin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Stereotypes and storylines for emergent bilinguals (EBs) permeate U.S. culture, have been historically deficit-oriented, and determine ways teachers and students interact with each other in classroom contexts. As a way to disrupt and challenge such narratives, one elementary teacher, Courtney, leveraged her authority to construct and foster the…

Baldinger, Erin E.; Campbell, Matthew P.; Graif, Foster – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Effectively leading whole-class mathematics discussions is made more difficult when students' contributions are incomplete, imprecise, or not yet correct, and not easily correctable--what we call "errors." Through purposefully designed opportunities to investigate, enact, and reflect on teaching, teacher candidates (TCs) can develop…

Sakurai, Shogo – TESL-EJ, 2014
There are a number of studies on teachers' corrective feedback and students' uptakes in immersion settings, but the majority is carried out in the North American context. Based on limited data, "the counter­-balance hypothesis" was proposed by Lyster and Mori (2006) to explain distributions of teacher feedback and students' uptakes in…
