Verbal Flow definition
Verbal Flow. The observer records who is talking to whom. Categories of verbal interaction can also be recorded: teacher question, student answer, teacher praise, student question. Verbal flow is similar to the technique of selective verbatim in that both techniques deal with classroom behavior. Selective verbatim is concerned with the content of the verbal communication, whereas verbal flow identifies the initiators and recipients of the verbal communication and the kind of communication they are engaged in.
