Abstract	The purpose of this study was to examine how teacher talk influenced the way issues of race, culture, and disability were addressed in literature discussion groups. Discussions of one teacher with two groups of students, of varying reading levels, were studied. The research questions were: 1) How does the teacher's perspective on the students reading ability frame how she structures discussions? 2) How are issues of race, culture, and disability addressed in discussion groups? 3) In what ways are stereotypical/dominant cultural views interrupted or maintained? Using Critical Discourse Analysis and the theoretical lens of addressivity, this study found that, although each group developed different patterns of discussion, the quality of teacher talk across both groups maintained dominant cultural views of issues of race, culture, and disability.
