This page will provide links to research and other developments likely to be of interest to colleagues who are interested in promoting talk for learning resources, other collaborative work and ways of providing access for learners of English who are simultaneously learning in English and hopefully their first language. It is a bit rudimentary at the moment but will improve with your help. I will try not to duplicate the research links on the NALDIC site
Link to the University of East London site about the use and production of dual language books.
Link to Charmiane Kenner's report on first language work.
Link to the Spring Project (social pedagogic research into group work: ie they are looking with teachers at the most effective use of grouping and group work) at all key stages and run by education depts in the universities of Brighton, Cambridge and Institute of Education in London and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council who have the most user unfriendly website I have found for a while! If you want to spend a while finding things you don't need you can find a link to them from the Spring Project.
Link to Robin Alexander's website with information about dialogic teaching i.e. effective and creative group talk
