Dialogic Teaching: Continued

1
Dialogic Teaching Continued

• Dialogic and Monologic Teaching A comparison

2
Re-visiting monologic teaching

• Lecture classes
• Not merely to convey information.
• the instructor must be able to give explanations
  that teach students to think critically and
  conceptually.
• A way to make the lecture more effective

3
Effective Monologic Teaching

• Well-marked road maps
• Methods of Logical Development
• short/long transitions
• Rhetorical questions
• Internal summaries
• This can help students to develop into thinkers.

4
Remember This?

• Make class more interactive with
• Debates
• Role-play
• Have Students' teach
• Small group work
• Types of Questions (Remember?)
• Questions that test and guide
• Comprehension check questions
• Confirmation checks
• Clarification checks
• Non-verbal (Body language)

An Example

• Alternative Energy
• Monologic class
• List the topics that you would like to speak
  about during your lecture
• Give a presentation on the most common forms of
  alternative energy (i.e. Solar, wind,
  hyrdo-electric).

6
Example, Continued

• Dialogic Classroom
• Take the same topic (alternative energy) and ask
  them to name examples of alternative energy.
• Give the students scenarios of different
  environments and have them propose what the most
  easy form of alternative energy could be for that
  area.
• For example, in the desert it may be more
  appropriate to use solar energy.
