Through testing, we identified a subgroup of 59 students with likely language and\/or attention disorders.<\/p>\n<p>The students were all between 13 and 15. About half identified as female and half as male. Students were taught by 26 different teachers. Almost three quarters of students (71%) in the sample had not previously been identified as having difficulty with either language or attention.<\/p>\n<p>All 59 students participated in individual interviews, which included questions about their classroom experiences.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you think some teachers talk too much?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Research\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/chapters\/edit\/10.4324\/9781003350897-13\/accessible-pedagogies%E2%84%A2-linda-graham-haley-tancredi\">shows<\/a>\u00a0removing unnecessary complexity from classroom teaching is really important when helping students learn, especially if they already have issues with language and information processing.<\/p>\n<p>More than two thirds of participants (69%) in our study said some of their teachers talk too much. Eight responded with a forceful \u201cYES!\u201d Importantly, students also described the effect of too much teacher talk \u2014 including when teachers \u201cgo off topic\u201d \u2014 on their ability to sustain focus, attention and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>As Gareth* explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[The] ones that are just like talking and not doing anything, I\u2019ll just zone out and don\u2019t do anything.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bella noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Yes. Uh, uh, my brain leaves the room.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another student, Pippy, told us that once behind, it is difficult to re-engage:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I just think, well, like when my teacher\u2019s talking, I, my brain kind of, it gets like really slow, and I have to think back about, \u2018Oh, they just said those words, what do those mean?\u2018 And then I\u2019m like, &#8216;Okay, I\u2019m catching up\u2019. And then she\u2019s already like gone all the way down like already explained so much more. I\u2019ve like missed that \u2018cause I was trying to focus on what she was just explaining before.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>What else happens when teachers talk too much?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To learn more about the impact of too much teacher talk, we showed students an iPad and asked them to choose which options on the display applied to them.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular response was students begin thinking of other things. The next most popular responses were their brain shut down and\/or they talked to the person next to them. Although no student selected \u201cI get up to mischief\u201d as a standalone choice, four did select \u201call of the above\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>These responses reflect what happens when working memory \u2013 the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cdzjesenik.cz\/Cogmed\/Gathercole_S_PSYCHOLOGIST_2008_21_Working_memory_in_the_classroom.pdf\">memory system<\/a>\u00a0that provides a kind of \u201cmental jotting pad storing information necessary for everyday activities\u201d \u2013 is overloaded. When this occurs, brains really do \u201cleave the room\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can teachers do instead?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is no precise figure when it comes to the amount a teacher should talk, but a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/teaching-learning\/how-much-should-teachers-talk-in-the-classroom-much-less-some-say\/2019\/12\">good rule of thumb<\/a>\u00a0is around one quarter of the lesson. This allows time for active questioning and feedback, and for the completion of activities. It also reduces student passivity and is less exhausting for the teacher.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important as the proportion of teacher talk is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/03634523.2015.1041998?casa_token=tfYUtmks-PEAAAAA%3AcrAgRZe38Zh3onO4yZ_xaM0W3TmjuMrT_Ag2bLlmBfV-BMuQI83GsRm6CXeyVNddCjH1GxbIqLRvGTc\">how easy it is<\/a>\u00a0to understand them.<\/p>\n<p>Students in our study said \u201cexcellent\u201d teachers used simple words and would \u201cgo through\u201d things several times in different ways. They also said excellent teachers did not go too fast and paused to allow students to process what had been said. They would also regularly check in with students during the lesson to see if they understood what they needed to do.<\/p>\n<p>Though it might be assumed teachers are already using these simple strategies, our findings suggest otherwise. We asked students about 16\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/chapters\/edit\/10.4324\/9781003350897-13\/accessible-pedagogies%E2%84%A2-linda-graham-haley-tancredi\">evidenced-based<\/a>\u00a0teaching practices that are all needed to support language and information processing.<\/p>\n<p>Their responses suggest there is inconsistent or ineffective use of these important practices.<\/p>\n<p>For example, nearly three in five students said teachers rarely or only sometimes listed what students needed to do on the board. Almost one in four said their teacher did not consistently check-in with them using verbal prompts to support attention.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can we do now?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We know language processing, attention and working memory are particular areas of difficulty for students with DLD and\/or ADHD.<\/p>\n<p>But these differences do not mean lower academic achievement is a natural or inevitable outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, given the prevalence of students in these two groups, it means everyday teaching must be accessible to them. And in doing so, it will also make teaching more accessible to everyone in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.qut.edu.au\/accessibleassessment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/356\/2023\/11\/Poster_Tancredi_AARE-2023_for-printing.pdf\">previous study<\/a>\u00a0in our broader project, we found targeted professional learning can help teachers make their teaching more accessible, including talking less and more simply.<\/p>\n<p>Our future research will look at how we help teachers adopt these strategies and reach teachers in regional and remote schools so all students can benefit.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Haley Tancredi is a Lecturer (Inclusive Education), Callula Killingly is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Inclusive Education and Linda J.
