Have you ever had a student who wants to argue with you about everything? Suggest more tips that will help teachers to calm down such students. Here are some more examples for you
*Giving them a designated time to discuss the matter that is not class time such as recess or after school.
*Katherine Kelley, who teaches gifted students, tells her students that this is a classroom not a court room so there is no need to argue your case. (I need to remember that line!)
*Having a sense of humor is another tip to try.

Assessment.Work out an interesting method for reducing chatting and write a description of it for a Teaching Tips website. There is an example (cards for talkative students)

Quiet Students
Last time we talk about talkative students.
Can we say that quiet student is a student who is not prepared for the lesson?

Answer the following questions:
1. What reasons are given for being shy?
2. What can teachers do to encourage quiet students?
3. What can parents do to encourage quiet students?
Speaking. Shyness isn't the only reason to be quiet. What other reasons can you name? Is students' quietness an evil? Read the quotation of the teacher. Do you agree? Why? Why not? Your partner must take the opposite point of view and debate it with you. Prove your point of view.
| We like lively classes, we want to see the students participate, speak up, take the floor, contribute actively to class discussion. Communicative language teaching puts a premium on talk and thus often rewards students who “do” conversation and self-expression rather than those who reflect and understand in silence. But words have no meaningwithout the silences that surround them… |

| Why am I shy at school, but I'm not shy at home? OK I am 16 and in 11th grade. When I am around my best friend at lunch or out someplace with a friend I am outgoing, crazy, random... If I talk to someone online I am also outgoing, crazy, random... Seriously if you ask my friends they will say I am not shy at all. But at school I am so shy. I feel like everyone is watching my every move. I feel like everything I say is wrong and that people will judge me for it. I feel like I can't hold a convo. with anyone. I say this class is boring, they say yeah it is, and they move on. I mean every once and a while I feel like myself at school and I forget about everyone else around but that dose not happen very often. Any suggestions besides to just be myself because I am trying that and it seems like myself is different at school then it is at home?? |

2. Assessment. Remember your quiet students. Analyze their behavior. What are the reasons for their shyness? What do you do to get them talk? Do a case study of a student and write a report.
