What learning benefits could teachers and students draw from intentional classroom dialogue?

There are many benefits for both students and teachers. Here are some starters based on the four areas of communication (the heart of almost every subject): reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Reading: Participants of dialogue learn how to read more deeply and effectively for many purposes. They are able to read critically by actively engaging with texts and constructing meaning from numerous perspectives. Comprehension and fluency soar as students become confident in their abilities to engage with difficult material.
Writing: Students write with more sophistication, depth and thoughtfulness after engaging in dialogue because they are able to draw from numerous ideas as the group constructs a deeper conceptual understanding.
Listening: Students who frequently participate in dialogue build effective listening skills because dialogue depends on participation from all members. Students actively listen to their peers in order to better understand and appreciate others and to clarify their own thoughts and ideas.
Speaking: Teachers tend to talk a lot and students tend to mostly listen. In dialogue, these roles often switch because the teacher transitions to facilitator. Students, therefore, have valuable speaking time to practice diction, eloquence, pronunciation, justifying and clarifying their ideas and more.
In addition, the students get to engage in challenging philosophical or intellectual conversations, often for the first time in their lives. Accompanying this is a sense of confidence and pride as they get excited by the big ideas of life. Students become more curious as they realize most things do not have simple, textbook answers. They develop wonder and begin to hunger for proof and rigor. They extend themselves and practice habits of mind, or scholarly dispositions.
Because teachers must transition to the role of facilitator or questioner, they immediately gain precious time to observe their students and reflect on their needs. As the students dialogue, teachers can observe and give feedback to the students. This reflective practice will lead to amazing personal growth and professional development as more and more questions arise about how to help each and every student. This then leads to differentiation, authentic assessment and many other ideas that are often considered "best practices" in the field of education.
