1. Teacher Talking Time

2. Useless TTT: Disadvantages
Limits the amount of STT
Lots of TTT = lots of T/class mode: unengaging for learners. Concentration and pace suffer
TTT often means that the teacher is “telling” the students things that they could be working out for themselves. Lack of involvement + Have they understood?
TTT often means that the teacher takes the lead in all exchanges: not a natural discourse model
Leads to excessively controlling Teacher and reduces learner autonomy

3. Valuable TTT
Roughly-tuned input: Language Acquisition = CI + 1 (Krashen)
TTLs: Teacher Talk Listenings (Live Listening) Often more motivating than listening to a CD or tape

7. Exploiting TTT: useful v useless
Prepare a brief story, joke, personal anecdote
Tell it clearly and slowly, supported by:
Mime and gestures
Punching key words
Pausing
Visuals
Show the prompts/bones of the story.
Tell it again as learners follow the prompts
Give learners some time to mentally rehearse the story
Pairs tell the story: call ‘CHANGE’ every few seconds
Ask learners to write down any expressions they liked/want to learn
Change partners and tell it again … better!

21. Disadvantages of PPP Grammar is the main key to language learning.
If Ss aren't ready to learn, or don't want or need to learn, that particular grammar point, the whole lesson can be a bit of a waste.
Ss never really get a chance to practice realistic communication. 
Third stage – too early for real internalisation
