Talking about talking - a study of children in a language class

Lincoln and District Healthcare Trust

Observational measures of conversational interactions were collected for a group of 5- to 7-year-old children attending a class for children with speech and language difficulties attached to a mainstream school. Data collected showed that while all children were making progress in the language skills that were being specifically taught, listening skills, discrimination skills, etc., they nevertheless used language for a limited range of purposes and their spontaneous conversations were extremely restricted. Implications for classroom practice are considered.
