Abstract: The focus of this chapter is on effective classroom talk in English teaching where
students are able to actively participate in their own learning and communicate
their evolving understanding in spoken forms in group-based, whole-class and
one-to-one interactions. It will discuss the centrality of talk in the learning process
and consider the extent to which teachers can enhance student learning through
questioning and feedback which asks students to expand on their thinking, justify
or clarify their opinions or make connections to their own experiences. It will also
address how the professional development needs of teachers can be met so as to
enhance the quality of spoken interaction in the classroom.
