Piggy-backing off of what someone else mentioned, try giving them SHORT, frequent breaks so they can talk to their neighbor. By giving them opportunities to express themselves, they may not feel so compelled to do so during class. Another thing that worked when I was in school was when the teacher said, "Did you have a question?" usually whoever was talking would stop. I think this is a good way to approach the problem if eye contact doesn't work because then it is not directly targeting the student, and lets them know that if they do genuinely have a question that you're ready to answer, but if they do not, they need to stop talking while you're talking.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like this method.
