Description

Understanding dialogue and its role in education is crucial for effective learning. Through dialogue, we share experiences, construct new meanings, and transform ourselves and our communities. This book explores how language affects us and how we use it to encourage, empathise, inquire, argue, and persuade. The increasing use of information and communication technologies has provided new tools for dialogue, but also raised questions about the skills needed to use them effectively - a skillset known as digital literacy. The authors argue that our understanding of discourse and dialogue is evolving in response to these changes, and that researchers need to consider how language affects meaning-making in education. Discourse analysis is central to researching education, as it involves interpreting multiple meanings, perspectives, and interactions between voices. This book provides a framework for understanding these complex processes, helping educators and researchers to facilitate effective dialogue and promote change in themselves and their society.
