• The ten categories are mentioned as under:
• Teacher Talk – 7 categories
• Pupil Talk – 2 categories
• Silence or Confusion- 1 category
• Thus, the first seven categories include teacher talk. Next two categories include pupil The last tenth category includes the small spans of silence or pause or confusion.
• The first 7 categories or teacher talk has been bifurcated into a) indirect talk, b) direct talk.
