Is Teacher Talking Time always bad? This is the question Dmitry, our colleague, asked Heather Belgorodtseva, the Academic Director at BKC Teacher Training Centre, in the new episode of the Ask Heather series. Teacher Talking Time is often seen as something to minimise, but is it always a problem? In this episode, Heather explores when teacher talk can support learning and when it might hold students back. She looks at situations where more teacher input is necessary, where it can become excessive, and shares practical ideas on how to find the right balance in the classroom. Thank you, Dmitry, for your question!
