At the simplest level, teacher talk time (TTT)
refers to how much the teacher talks during a
lesson.
A consequence of this was the belief that the
teacher’s presence in the classroom should be
reduced.Many training courses based on CLT insisted
that teacher talking time (TTT) was
counterproduct ive and that teachers should reduce
TTT for a number of reasons: Excessive TTT limits
the amount of STT (student talking time).
