Teacher-child interaction in learning situations in kindergarten
The main purpose is to describe the interactions between children with cochlear implant and their teachers in learning situations in kindergarten. Six children with cochlear implants participate in the study (followed from age 7mnd to 6 years). The goal is to describe special features of “good dialogues”, i.e. dialogues that seem to contribute to improvement in functional hearing and increased language comprehension. Results from the yearly language testing (Part 1) will be used as a basis for studying the interrelations between language skills as measured in tests and interactions in learning situations.
Responsible: Wie, Hagtvet.
