  • Imagination and conceptual understanding mediated by speech Language use at school: an example The earth is a ball of very hot rock which measures over 12,7000 kilometres in diameter. Scientists study the shock waves from earthquakes and nuclear explosions to find out what the inside of the earth is like. The earth has a thin outer shell which is cooler and more rigid than the rocks below. The shell rests on a layer of rock that is partly molten, like hot toffee. Only the very thin top layer of the earths shell is called the crust. (Painter, 2009)
