AbstractThe current research in the field of argumentation in school contexts predominantly focuses on the development of oral and written argumentation skills and interventions to improve students’ argumentative skills, while comparative studies of argumentative practices in different modes, particularly the linguistic features of oral versus written argumentative practices, are still rare. To close this gap, our study investigates argumentative oral and written practices of students in secondary school to answer the question whether the mode has an influence on the use of specific procedures and linguistic features. We examined how students express their stance on a controversial issue linguistically (Positionierung) by analyzing a small corpus of argumentative discussions and letters by 12th grade students. The results of the study show that while students use similar procedures and linguistic features in both modes, they are more varied and multifaceted in discussions, i. e. oral communication, than in letters, i. e. written communication.

Facilitative interaction is characterized by specific psychological, integrative and linguistic features. It was shown that from the psychological point of view dialogization is the process of facilitative speech interaction, which involves the exchange of replicas that do not reach the scope of monologue statements. The term “dialogue” is understood as the process of dialogue, and its result-text, but the text will not always be dialogically in the content. The author of the article said that the dialogue (from “dialogues”, diagonal, logos) was a conversation between two or more people. Expressions are short, often they are fragmentary replicas. We showed the psychological features of dialogical communication. Dialogue as a product of coordinated verbal speech activity of two (three or more) interlocutors, is a coherent text that has all the main characteristics of the unambiguous unity. The parameters of the oral dialogue can be included: referring to one or another sphere of oral communication; the nature of the subject (one topic, a system of themes, several different themes); a number of creators of the text (dialogue, trilogy, poly-dialogue); functional style of speech (spoken, officially or business, etc.); degree of readiness of the subjects of speech act (presence of work-pieces, thoughts and facts, degree of mastering the topic); linguistic characteristics (normative language, composition of the dictionary, intonational design); situationality (the degree of support of speaking on infant communication channels in the process of their speech contact and the reflection of this particular communication in the text); depth and detail of the communicative development of the topic (or topics) that are discussed during the speech contact. In the article we proposed the psychological features of facilitative interaction. The following psychological aspects influence the content and the nature of facilitative interaction: 1) the process of perception of the interlocutor’s speech and orientation in the situation; 2) the processes of formation of the content of the statement; 3) the processes of linguistic design of thoughts and perception (plus decoding) of replica of partner in communication. Observations on dialogues in real conditions show that any comprehension of the statement becomes the result of direct contact between people, creating the word “organizing”, which form a single temporary communication system. The initial statement is largely conditioned by the person of the interlocutor (as a component of the situation of communication), his/her attitude to the interlocutor, the competence in solving the problems discussed, the language partnership of the partners, the nature of their acquaintance. The personality of the interlocutor affects the initiator of the dialogue, contributes to its modeling in the psycho-physiological sense, tune in to a certain emotional system, which gives rise to the “launch” of the content-intentional level. Beginning the dialogue, the first participant (S.1) evaluates the communicative possibilities of the partner, is guided in the environment and on this basis creates his speech generating program, activates his speech intentions and the topic. The second interlocutor (S.2), who perceived the speech, had analyzed it and replies in response, taking into account the personality of the initiator of the dialogue and the environment, his own intentions and motives.

Abstract. This study aims to know the characteristics of mathematical communication of pre-service primary school teachers. The material used as the object of research is geometry. It requires the ability of algebra and spatial skills. The area of trapezoid is selected as the topic since it is perceived as the most complex of all plane shapes studied in primary school. It is because the calculation of the area of trapezoid entails three variables. The ability of mathematical communication involves the ability to write and explain. This ability is examined based on the background of students’ secondary school. The subjects of this study were 15 students of Primary Teacher Education, STKIP Al Hikmah Surabaya in academic year 2017-2018. The types of mathematical communication are grouped according to their characteristics. Written communication is sharpened by oral communication. The results were analyzed to investigate the relevance of such abilities with the subjects’ background of their secondary school (SMA, SMK, or MA). The results indicate that the characteristics of written communication consist of: (1) narrative, (2) procedure, and (3) dialogue. Meanwhile, the characteristics of oral communication consist of: (1) lecture, (2) instructional, and (3) discussion. Pre-service teachers graduated from SMA have better mathematical communication skills than those from SMK and MA. Keywords: Pre-service primary school teacher, mathematical communication, the area of trapezoid.

When gifted Māori students feel they belong and find their realities reflected in the curriculum, conversations and interactions of schooling, they are more likely to engage in programmes of learning and experience greater school success. This article reports on a teacher-led project called the Ruamano Project, which investigated whether Maker and Zimmerman's (2008) Real Engagement in Active Problem Solving model (REAPS) could be adapted successfully to identify talents and benefit the student achievement and engagement of Māori boys in two rural Northland, New Zealand secondary school contexts. The project aimed to implement Treaty of Waitangi-responsive and place-based science practices by improving home–school–community relationships through the authentic engagement of whānau and iwi into the schools’ planning, implementation and evaluation of a REAPS unit. As a result of this innovation, teachers’ perceptions of Māori boys shifted, their teaching practices changed, more junior secondary Māori boys were identified as gifted by way of improved academic performance, and iwi and community members were engaged in co-designing the inquiry projects. Our research indicated that the local adaptation of the REAPS model was effective in engaging and promoting the success of gifted and talented Māori boys.

The teaching and learning of Arabic language especially in the non-native environment require a simplified method to make the job a more fruitful enterprise. This paper explores the application of a contrastive analysis of both the target language and the native language in encouraging, motivating and simplifying the teaching and learning of oral Arabic communication skill among the native Yoruba speakers. The work identifies the major areas of difficulties facing the students from this region. This includes phonetics, phonology and agreement relation (otherwise known as concord in grammar). The agreement consists of gender, person, terms and numbers which form a major component of grammatical Arabic sentence. It is observed that understanding these major areas will enhance the performance of the students in achieving the required standard in Arabic oral communication. The paper concludes that Arabic phonetics, phonology and grammar are more elaborate than those of Yoruba. Hence, the instructors need to focus more attention on these difficult areas; especially those areas that do not exist in the native language (Yoruba).
