Classroom Discourse as Linguistic Input: A Study of Student Participation, Percentage of French Used in Class, and the Communicative Orientation of Classroom Activities in Six Second-Semester French Classes
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe study was based on a model of optimal linguistic intake which posited the necessary co-occurrence of three conditions--a well-adjusted target-language message, the acquirer's attention, and focus on message content--for an optimal language-acquisition environment. The study looked at each condition in the discourse of six second-semester French classes and at the extent and circumstances of their co-occurrence.
