Teacher Talking Time (TTT) refers to the amount of time the teacher spends speaking during a lesson.
In an English language classroom, TTT may be used to model correct language usage, provide explanations or instructions, or engage students in conversation.
It is important to strike a balance between TTT and Student Talking Time (STT), as excessive TTT can limit student interaction and prevent them from developing their own language skills.
It is worth noting that minimizing TTT in some Moroccan ELT classrooms is very challenging as the level of most students is weak in English.
