Talking

How does talking benefit students in the classroom?



Well first of all talking allows students to learn from eachother. Through conversations students pick up new information on a variety of topics. Another benefit would be that conversations can help a student practice thier language skills, they listen to others model public speaking. From this they are able to note it and hopefully apply it in their speaking. A third benefit would be that students learn how a conversation works, for example how to take turns listening and speaking. Also they learn how to show people they are listening by eyecontact, facial expressions, and body language. Talking also allows students to see different points of view or ideas about different topics in class. Another is that they are given the chance to use vocabulary they have learned, as well as learn new vocabulary from thier peers. There are many benefits that students get through talking in the classroom. The one that i like the most though is that they learn about new things and get to share ideas.
