  When considering Teacher Talk Time, we can perhaps look at the major advantage and disadvantage of the teacher actually talking. The major advantage is that you as the teacher are usually the only real model for the language, the source of correct English. So at some stages, your talking time is very important to the students. So when you?re modeling language, that use of Teacher Talk Time can be very advantageous. There are major disadvantages to overusing Teacher Talk Time, however, and perhaps the major one is that whenever the teacher is talking, the students are listening and if the students are listening, then they themselves cannot be talking. So, Teacher Talk Time reduces the opportunity for Student Talk Time. So, we should try to minimize the use of Teacher Talk Time...  [Read more]

Orange County is located between the two major metropolitan areas of San Diego and Los Angeles. Unlike most densely populated regions in the united states it does not have a major urban center but is rather made up of several small, well-designed cities.

Orange County started out as a mainly agricultural area with large cattle ranches and other farming activities. As with many cities on the Pacific coast of the U.S. it was the arrival of the railroad that brought growth and development to the area, not to mention the discovery of silver in the nearby mountains. As it developed it gradually came to the attention of Los Angeles residents seeking an escape from the hustle and...  [Read more]
