Researching Interpretive Talk Around Literary Narrative Texts Shared Novel Reading John Gordon by John Gordon instant download after payment.

Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach integrating insights from conversation analysis, narrative analysis and narratology, this book theorizes teaching around narrative prose in each level of education, with a focus on a new framework of Pedagogic Literary Narration which emphasises the practice of shared novel reading and the importance of the role of the teacher in mediating this practice. With insights taken from a comprehensive set of transcripts drawn from actual classrooms, the volume focusses on the convention in first-language literary study in which teachers and students read a novel shared over lessons, combining periods of reading aloud with those of questioning and discussion. In so doing, Gordon’s study seeks to extend existing methodologies from literary and social science research towards informing teaching practice in literary pedagogy and to address the need for a theorization of literary pedagogy which considers the interrelationship between text-in-print and text-through-talk. Transcripts are supported with comprehensive analyses to help further explicate the research methodology and provide guidance on implementing it in the classroom. This book is a valuable resource for scholars in language and education, literary studies, narrative inquiry and education research.
