A functional perspective on examining the mathematical teacher talk in a multilingual secondary classroom
Celebi-Ilhan, E. Gul (2012-07-04)
This paper draws on social semiotics, and functional perspective of language to analyze teacher participation into the social practice/activity of mathematical meaning making in a multilingual secondary classroom. According to these perspectives, language is taken as discourse and is used to make meanings where exchange of meanings takes place between the participants of the social practice. I present an analysis of a mathematical text to reveal the functions fulfilled by teacher talk/discourse in construct...
