a. Explain and justify your general beliefs about teacher talk in the English language classroom. Refer to the literature to justify your beliefs. Things to consider are:

- What is your view on the use of L1 and L2 by teachers in the English language classroom?
- How can English language teachers use teach talk effectively in the classroom?

Use the following categories to provide a detailed discussion of your language grading: ideas, interaction, organization, situation and culture. (See week 4 lecture notes)
