Abstract

  • National studies associate dialogic discourse with achievement gains.
  • Prior research has focused on instructional moves like questions and follow-ups.
  • Teachers and students collaboratively improvise not only instructional interactions but also classroom identities.
  • Teachers and students may improvise identities based on cultural roles associated with routine interactions
