Classroom response system-mediated science learning with English language learners / Juliet Langman and Carmen Fies
// Language and education 2010, Vol24, N.2 2010p. 81- 99 We report on a case study examining the effects of a technology adaptation on patterns of discourse in a sheltered English high school science unit on electricity. The focus here is on how the tool, a classroom response system (CRS), affected access to and participation in classroom discourse with regard to developing science literacy among English language learners (ELLs), in particular Spanish speakers. Results indicate that, with appropriate pedagogies, CRS integration can provide learners with additional op¬portunities to become active participants and agents in their own learning by supporting teachers in reshaping their discourse patterns. We highlight how the CRS led to greater engagement by supporting a shift in the rhythm and participation structures of dis¬course. Implications for use in classroom settings by teachers with a range of expertise in instructional technology are provided.

Effective teacher talk: a threshold concept in TESOL / Barbara Skinner.
// ELT Journal Volume 71, Issue 2, 1 April 2017 2017.p. 150–159. English language teachers are expected to use their talk, ‘teacher talk’, effectively; however, teacher education courses do not always clarify how student teachers can achieve this. This article advocates that understanding and using effective teacher talk is crucial for successful ELT and as such is a ‘threshold concept’ in TESOL. ‘Threshold concept’ is a term used in higher education to describe core concepts that, once understood, transform perception of a subject and help students progress in their discipline. In this study, nine native speaker and non-native speaker EFL student teachers explore their use of teacher talk by participating in stimulated recall interviews using recordings of teaching practice lessons as the stimuli. Findings show trainees understand effective teacher talk differently, with some trainees linking it to pedagogical purpose whilst others do not. This study is the first to examine threshold concepts in TESOL and shows it is a useful micro-perspective for developing the TESOL teacher education curricula.
