Good teaching and learning depend on a balance between these interactions. If the teacher talks all the time it is not good. It is important for the students to talk to the teacher, to ask and answer questions. It is also very important for the children to talk to each other by working in pairs and in small groups. In your lessons, how much time do you spend talking? How much time do the children spend talking to you? How much time do the children spend talking to each other?  It is very important for a child’s development that they learn to talk about their ideas and feelings. Also, by encouraging talk in the classroom a teacher can then assess the progress of the student. If a child is having difficulty, a teacher can then adapt the teaching methods to help the child improve. Good teaching encourages children to talk to their teacher and each other.
