Since the advent of teaching, educators have been contemplating its improvement. This is also true for the two Swiss authors of the highly stimulating and engaging volumes "Dialogic Learning in Language and Mathematics." They address everyone who, like them, is dissatisfied with today's teaching and is searching for solutions: teachers at all school levels and in all subjects, as well as university professors and their students. Urs Ruf and Peter Gallin focus on the age-old problem of the relationship between students, teachers, and the subject matter. Materials should neither bore nor overwhelm students, as they often do in many places. Instead, they should encourage reflection and production. Let the ideas and concepts of the Swiss authors inspire you to rethink your own teaching and possibly find ways to make school life more satisfying.
