Abstract
All of us growing up in traditional schools have
undergone "an apprentice of observation"
(Lortie, 1975) lasting many years. We are so
inured to the patterns of classroom talk that we
consider them "normal" and they have become
invisible to us. Fortunately for us, there is
research that serves to 'unpack' conventional
classroom talk, and that focuses on the
characteristics of dialogic talk that promotes
student learning. In this article, I will highlight
the key features of this research in order to help
teachers examine their own practice.
