vocabulary items and corrections.

Student Talking Time
It is the time learners spend talking rather than the teacher.
It can be compared with Teacher Talking Time (TTT). It can
be a useful category for observation of teaching, or for self-
reflection about teaching.
 Why are some teachers talking much?

enjoy standing up there, in front of a
large audience, and talking about what
they know. It makes them feel important.
