management of a class.

Teacher talking time vs. student talking time
“We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same.”Martha Graham
Although the teacher’s and students’ talking time varies
according to the aims of the lesson, the student’s talking time is
always more important than the teacher talking time.
Teacher’s talking time: 30 %
Student talking time: 70%
Some Ways to Increase Student Talk TimeFirst it is important to think about:
•Do students know the vocabulary needed to speak on the topic?
•Are the teacher’s instructions clear enough for the learners to know exactly what to do?
