Prepare a power point presentation of 15 slides with the most important information you can find on the internet about the classroom interactions.

1. CLASSROOM
INTERACTION
STUDENT: Oscar Hernandez Daza
TUTOR: Roció Ortega Andrade
Second Period
October-February 2016

2. BACKGROUND
There was a time when the traditional approach
of teaching was adopted by most of the teachers,
where the learner used to be dependent only on
the lecture delivered by the teacher. They were
not exposed to enough practice of speaking on
their own and hence the interaction among the
students in the classroom was almost absent.
But as the education system changed with time
so has the teaching methods. Education system
now demands more of student interaction rather
than just listening to the instructor. Hence
Classroom Interactionism very essential in
today’s education system.

3. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF CLASSROOM
INTERACTION?
The term classroom interaction refers to
the interaction between the teacher and
learners and among the learners in the
classroom. Descriptions of classroom
interaction focused initially on the
language used by the teacher , especially
teacher questions and the learner
responses elicited, teachers ‘feedback and
turn-allocation behavior.

4. THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERACTION
• Aspects of the Language pedagogy Standard
specifically addressed in this:
• (to) create a culture of learning …which fosters
interest in languages and cultures and encourage
learners to accept responsibility for their own
learning
• a range of methodologies for languages and
cultures teaching and in their practice select from
these in a principled way, taking into
consideration the learners,
• the learning context, curriculum goals, and the
aspect of language being taught
• Studies conducted on classroom interaction have
shown that student talk accounts for an average
of less than 30 per cent of talk in ‘teacher-fronted’
classrooms. Yet studies on language and learning
have shown that children not only learn to talk
but they also talk to learn . This can be seen from
the fact that children are persistent questioners;
it is by asking questions that they explore and
learn about the world around them. However,
studies have shown that the number of questions
asked by children drops significantly as soon as
they enter school

5. CONSIDERING INTERACTION IN PRACTICE
Participants:
• teacher – class
• teacher – student
• student – student
• others, including members of the target
language speaking community
Types of interaction
interactions between:
• language and culture
• prior learning and new concepts
2- interactions for
• Communication and
• learning
Sources:
• teacher – students
• text book, texts,
technologies, tasks University of Arm Forces English Methodology Hernandez Oscar

6. GOALS OF CLASSROOM INTERACTION
• promote meaningful communication in
the target language.
• promote reflection on language and
culture learning and use
• provide a metalanguage for talking about
language and culture
• engage learners with concepts and
processes for language and culture
learning
• probe learners’ prior learning and
interpretations of new concepts about
language and culture
• engage learners with texts and
resources that reflect language and
culture in context

their experience and understanding of
the target language and culture

7. LANGUAGE USE IN CLASSROOM
INTERACTION
• at least two languages for use
 hybrid forms can support target
language use
 use of first and additional languages will
depend on the context, learners, teacher
capability and judgement
 need to consider the nature, timing and
frequency of target language use in the
classroom
 use of English/first language provides a
basis for deeper cognitive engagement at
times

12. HOW TO INTERACT IN A CLASSROOM?

13. FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT IN INTERACTION:
• Improving classroom interaction involves continually
assessing your teaching, students learning, and your
relationship with the students. The students have a
relationship with you, with each other, and with the
material. It's important to get feedback about all three of
these relationships.
- Feedback happens on many timescales. How did this go
today? How is the quarter going?
- Try a written mid-quarter evaluation. For example: Ask
which exercise was most helpful? Which was least?
- Use office hours to talk informally about how things are
going
- Have your teaching observed or videotaped. - Make sure
students understand your assignments. Ask if there is
anything else that they need to handle the assignment.
- Make your teaching transparent. Ask the students if
they understand why we are doing this assignment. You
can also use our workbook titled "Creating a Feedback
Questionnaire" to help you come up with additional
methods for generating feedback from your students.
