Conversation and a Democratic Classroom

Published By: Sandarbh on eSS | Published Date: March, 04 , 2011

Conversation  has  always  been  one  of  the  essential  tools  of  teaching  and  the  best  teacher  uses  it  with  flair  and  precision.  However,  conversation  is  much  more  than  an  aid  to  teaching.  Children  need  to  talk  and  to  experience  spoken  language,  in  order  to  think  and  to  learn.  The  role  of  conversation  does  not  end  here.  Rather,  it  can  be  extended  further  and  made  a  tool  for  creating  a  democratic  classroom. This article explores  the  potential  of  conversation  in  this  context with  the help of a few examples from the classroom.   [Sandarbh, Issue 69] http://eklavya.in/go/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=266&Itemid=72
