Episode notes

Silence as a teacher can be really useful, especially when you are eliciting. You don't take them all by the hand and just pull them through a lesson where you're just like talking and dictating to them. This brings us to the subject of teacher talking time. What have we always been told about it? To a minimum, that's what we are told. And that's good. But l so i guesse the students would be like moving, swapping the places of some of the rods and so on. Very structural, isn't it? Yes, that is very structural. As the teacher itis like one of those.
