    112 - Academic Conversations in the Classroom

    Andrea Lara explains how academic conversations have transformed classroom engagement by encouraging students to think critically, analyze information, and consider diverse perspectives. These conversations not only strengthen language skills but also help students articulate their thoughts, express ideas clearly, and use academic vocabulary—all essential for academic success. By actively engaging with material through discussion, students build a sense of community, benefit from peer-to-peer learning, and develop valuable teamwork and communication skills.
