Definition of Teacher Talk
Nunan (1991:164) points out that teacher talk is a crucial part to anization of classroom teaching and students’ language acquisition because not only anization and instruction of teacher talk can help teaching content achieve ideal teaching effects, but also teacher talk itself works as an important input of the target language for students.
