Beschreibung:
This work takes a radically different look at communication, and in doing so presents a series of challenges to accepted views on language, on communication, on teaching, and, above all, on learning.
Drawing on extensive research in science classrooms, it presents a view of communication in which language is not necessarily communication - image, gesture, speech, writing, models, spatial and bodily codes
