The Ethnography of Communication
Learning to construct verbs in Navajo and Quechua
Navajo and Quechua, both languages with a highly complex morphology, provide intriguing insights into the acquisition of inflectional systems. The development of the verb in the two languages is especially interesting, since the morphology encodes diverse grammatical notions, with the complex verb often constituting the entire sentence. While the verb complex in Navajo is stem-final, with prefixes appended to the stem in a rigid sequence, Quechua…
Achieving coherence in multilingual interaction
Communication between pupils and teachers who do not share a common linguistic code is analyzed to demonstrate that a multidimensional approach is necessary for achieving descriptive adequacy. The study is naturalistic, but provides a setting within which the role of all elements in the communicative interaction can be controlled to a significant degree. A model of interpretive processing is proposed that integrates the frameworks developed in se…

Private speech
This study focuses on children who go through a ‘silent’ period early in the course of second language development, during which they largely cease verbal communication with speakers of the second language (English). Video recordings with radio microphones under natural conditions revealed that most of these children engaged in extensive private speech, which they were found to use for a variety of intrapersonal learning strategies, including (1)…

What Really Matters in Second Language Learning for Academic Achievement
This retrospective analysis seeks to explain why a group of children who had been matched for English proficiency and socioeconomic status (SES) when they started a school year, and who were subsequently taught and tested through the medium of English, differed in their school achievement at the end of that year. Factors considered include relative productive competence in English morphology, syntax, and vocabulary; verbosity; patterns of social …
Foundations for Teaching English as a Second Language
Reading and the Audio-Lingual Method
The audio-lingual approach, while valid for developing oral fluency, has been over-applied to the detriment of developing fluency in reading. Yet as a tool for learning, reading is often more important to students than understanding the spoken language. Attempts to design adequate reading programs for advanced students in ESL classes should take into account recent findings in reading research, and current attention to the characteristics of writ…
