About This Item
Penguin Books, Harmondsworth, Middlesex, 1973. Reprint. Softcover. Good Condition. Photographic paperback binding with black and white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. ''Language is the most subtle and pervasive of the means by which we present our assumptions about role, about subject-matter, and about the people we talk to, at and with. And yet, as Douglas Barnes's fascinating survey of secondary classroom shows, teachers tend to talk too much (and pupils too little), and are often so insensitive to the text and significance of the language they use and expect. What can we learn about learning by looking at the language of our classrooms?'' -- from rear panel blurb. The author and his contributors set out to find out. Creasing of the book corners, with a 0.25'' split to the top left hand corner of the back strip. Rubbing of the book edges and panels and to either side of the back strip. Uniform tanning of the text block edges and pages. Size: 12mo (standard paperback). 168, [10 – of which six further titles from publishing house] pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Language & Linguistics; Britain/UK; 1970s; Education. ISBN: 0140800948. ISBN/EAN: 9780140800944.
