Classroom recordings together with retrospective interviews reveal specific points during learning activities when the students' and their teacher's interpretations of classroom communication deviate from what was intended. This research study is a potent reminder that what students and teachers may consider as standard and conventionally acceptable language use and behaviour within the classroom context can differ dramatically according to social, cultural and individual frames of reference. The book outlines an innovative teacher professional development programme which encourages teachers to reflect on and, where desired, modify or discontinue existing pedagogic practices UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781783095001 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781783095001 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781783095001/original ER -
