<i>Active class participation helps students communicate and clarify their thinking, explore new ideas, and build classroom community, as well as supporting academic language development. Too often, however, students fixate on getting the right answer, leading
them to speak up only hesitantly. When they do, they often provide minimal responses that give little sense of their thinking and offer little opportunity to engage in complex academic discourse. So, how can teachers encourage a genuine sharing of ideas?<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.25in">
<i>I explore this question by examining video recordings of a middle school mathematics class for English learners, in which the teacher knows both mathematics and language pedagogy and uses commonly accepted best practices for content-language integrated instruction.
Students participate willingly, but still defer to the teacher rather than discussing and advocating for their ideas. I argue that, while technique does bring students to participate, we can only foster complex discussions by promoting student agency, which
requires us to decenter our own authority to make space for student engagement.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
