Human Factors
At the end of a night training flight with my certificated student; we were instructed to taxi from our runway exit point to parking via a parallel taxiway. As we taxied along the parallel taxiway; I noticed a regional jet pass our aircraft while decelerating on the runway next to us. I saw the regional jet begin to exit the runway on a high-speed taxiway that intersected the parallel taxiway ahead of us. I told my student; who had the controls; to keep an eye on the exiting regional jet. Without stopping; the regional jet crossed the parallel taxiway in front of us and I instructed my student to stop the airplane while I began reaching to take control of our aircraft; though it ended up not being necessary. My student applied maximum braking; stopping our airplane approximately 25 ft. from the regional jet wingtip as it rapidly crossed our path. Without our prompt and aggressive action; a collision would have occurred.I suspect improper coordination between the Local and Ground controllers or an inappropriate approval by the Ground controller to the Local controller allowed the Local controller to clear the regional jet on Tower frequency; we were on Ground frequency; to exit and taxi to parking without stopping. Additionally; the Ground controller did not provide instruction nor information regarding the exiting regional jet to us; [with] no time for us to query either. Regardless; the regional jet crew should have been visually clearing as they exited the runway and crossed the intersection into the ramp. Though dark; our aircraft lighting was on and operating normally; bright LED navigation lights; beacon; and taxi light. Our aircraft is small; but it was visible.Fortunately; we were able to prevent one of the links in the safety chain from breaking to avoid an accident. I will continue to be vigilant throughout every phase of flight.
Flight Instructor reported critical ground conflict during taxi.
