The research has shown that students are more engaged and learn more when teachers talk around 50% of the time, or even less

@VisibleLearning I would like to see "the research" to which you refer please.

@VisibleLearning Always felt guilty about talking this much!

@VisibleLearning Please share the research you refer to.

@VisibleLearning Trying to sell this approach by telling teachers their students do better if they could please shut up, defeats the purpose folks!

@VisibleLearning I encourage you to read more about what works.

@VisibleLearning I am working on a language committee at my school and am interested in this study. Source, please?

@VisibleLearning For which context? Novice, intermediate, experts? What type of talk? Direct instruction? Questioning?
