Improving Teacher Talking Time in the Language Classroom: Reasons & Tips

[@Maximus-g1c]

One of my deadliest fault when I started teaching was my TTT. I was an explainer, I wasn't an enabler.

An easy mistake to make and a very common one too. Reducing TTT takes a lot of practice and goes against a lot of people's instincts, but once the skill is mastered, the benefits to the learners are huge. Hope your eliciting skills are much better now!

I'm mentoring a fairly new teacher, and there is way too much teacher talk and I watch the students get disengaged and zone out. Your explanation and tips in this video will be very helpful for him to improve his teaching. Thank you!

Thanks so much for your positive feedback! I hope you and the teacher you're mentoring find some of my other videos helpful too 😊
