To talk means to express yourself using speech, helping with the exchange of ideas or information. Talking may take the form of conversation, exchanging ideas with others in a group with everyone contributing ideas and thoughts.
Talk is beneficial to students in a classroom becuase they are a community of learners who exchange ideas about subjects they are learning all day long to help them better understand what they are learning. Talking helps not just in the classroom but in the world around students. It teaches them to communicate with others in their lives.
If students are doing readers workshop or writers workshop, students may use aesthetic talk in grand conversations by sharing ideas and questions. Storytelling and readers theater helps students to connect with what they have read by telling the story or acting out the story, giving it more meaning. When efferent talk is used in the classroom, students are informing and persuading others using activities such as show and tell, oral reports, interviews, and debates, teaching students how to speak in front of others, ask questions, and listen to others in a discussion.
