Teaching talking time.

 “Teacher talk” is everything you say when you're in the classroom. If you are someone who habitually thinks out loud, pay a lot of attention to your “teacher talk”! 

One of the tasks of a teacher trainer is therefore to help new teachers 'unlearn' the idea that teachers are people whose job it is to talk a lot. Of course, there is teacher talking time that can benefit students in the form of teacher demonstrations, conveying meaning and telling anecdotes.

Teacher talking time is the time that teachers spend talking in class, rather than learners. It can be compared with student-talking time. One key element of many modern approaches is to reduce the amount of TTT as much as possible, to allow learners opportunities to speak, and learn from speaking.There are advantages and disadvantages to TTT.In certain cultures, there is also a tradition of ‘chalk and talk’ which influences the expectations and behaviour of both teachers and students. However, bearing in mind the nature of the communicative classroom, teachers should perhaps be aware of the quality of their TTT and how it is used rather than trying to reduce it to a bare minimum.

Some disadvantages of TTT are:

1. Teaching talking can make boring the class.

2.The students are who need the practice,not the teacher.

3.If a teacher talk and talk ,the students would have less time  for other things such as  reading and writing
