Definition
of Teacher Talk
According to Cook
(2008: 160), language
teaching classrooms were
different from other classes
because language was
not just the
content but also
the medium. As an indispensable part
of foreign language
teaching, teacher talk
has its features
in that both the content and the
medium were the target language. We have
known for a
long time that
talk was essential
to students thinking and
learning, and their
productive engagement in
classroom life. Improving
the quality and quantity of teacher talk, or in other word
teacher-students talk, was often seen as a key to enhance classroom learning
(Eke and Lee, 2009: 14)
As a teacher of an International school, teachers have to
have more ability to gain students interest
during classroom activities.
The students from
various backgrounds must have
different skills. Some
students have learned
English from their parents since
their kids, and there were also some students that have no ability in English.
According to FIAC, teacher talk was categorized into two
main types, indirect influence and direct influence. In indirect influence, the
teacher could accept students' feeling,
praising or encouraging
students, accepting or
using students' ideas,
and asking questions to the pupil. The teacher directly influences the
students by lecturing the students, giving directions, and criticizing as well
as justifying authorities.
