What is the initiation, response, evaluation (IRE) pattern of class talk? What problems are associated with this type of discourse? How can teachers provide students with more stimulating conversations in the classroom?

What will be an ideal response?


The IRE pattern of discourse occurs when a teacher asks a question, a student answers, and the teacher either accepts or rejects that answer and goes on to ask another question. These types of question and answer exchanges do not provide the type of language input and feedback needed to advance children's language skills. Teachers can provide richer oral language experiences for children by engaging them in reciprocal conversations and discussions; listening closely and responding to their comments; asking genuine, open-ended questions; welcoming the interjection of personal experiences; and encouraging child–child turn-taking interactions.
