ow long do you wait for students to answer a question?" When we ask teachers to describe what they do hundreds of times daily in the classroom, their answers are all over the map: One minute. Ten seconds. Five seconds. Twenty-five seconds. Three seconds. How long do you think teachers wait for a student to answer?
I think this is a real situation encountered by the students. The teacher didn't give the students enough patience to think, but showed his own impatience and pressure. In such a short period of time, teachers suppress students' thinking time and deepen their anxiety. This is very likely to hit those students who are already introverted or not good at expressing themselves in language.
