[Vte+Iru aida (ni)~て いる 間(に)]
"while~doing~"

Vte iru aida (ni) expresses the time during which an action or event is/was taking place. Aida without ni indicates that the two actions or events in the main clause and subordinate clause (the aida clause) cover the same span of time (ex., 1, 2). Aida with niindicates that an action or event in the main clause occurs within the time span of an action or event in the aida-clause (ex., 3).

Examples:
サム は 先生 が 話して いる 間 本 を 読んで いました。
Samu wa sensei ga hanashite iru aida hon o yonde imashita.
Sam was reading a book while the teacher was talking.

子供 が 絵本 を見て いる あいだ 私 は ケーキ を 焼いて いました。
Kodomo ga ehon o mite iru aida watashi wa kēki o yaite imashita.
I was baking a cake while my child was looking at a picture book.

氏木田が出張している間 に 、お父さんが亡くなりました。
Kida ga shutchō shite iru aida ni, otōsan ga nakunarimashita.
While Mr. Kida was on a business trip, his father passed away.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
