In this follow-up to his popular book, ''Is This English?,'' Bob Fecho explores dialogic teachingwhat it is and how teachers can move toward more reflective teaching practices. Fecho provides a framework to help teachers develop the necessary focuses, perceptions, and intellectual habits that will result in an ever-enriching dialogue with their practice. Chapters like ''Using the Difficulty'' consider how an obstacle in the classroom can become a teachable moment, and Wobble asks teachers to be alert to when their beliefs are challenged by students and colleaguesand what can be learned in the balancing act. With anecdotes and scenarios from the authors own experience teaching adolescents and pre-service teachers, this engaging book will resonate with educators busy with todays overcrowded curriculums.

This work presents a method of ""critical inquiry"" that allows students and teachers to take intellectual and social risks in the classroom to make meaning together and, ultimately, to transform literacy education.
