Abstract. This article explores the significance of reducing teacher talking time (TTT) in the classroom and examines diverse strategies to accomplish the goal. In today’s modern teaching, high levels of TTT have been consistently associated with decreased student engagement, limited chances for active learning, and diminished student engagement. In the light of implementing effective and efficient techniques and increasing a student involvement during the classes, educators ideally can create a more learner-centered learning environment, which positively effect on improving students’ motivation, well-gained comprehension and overall achievement. This article highlights evidence-based strategies, such as utilizing body language, visual aids and using silence and pauses during the classes. The findings suggest that applying for below-mentioned techniques during the classes gives a great chance to educators to have more innovative, communicative and learner-centered classes.
