HOW TO IMPROVE THE STUDENT
INTERACTION?
 Maximizing practice time: Interaction through pair and group
work maximizes the opportunities to practice as more learners
speak for more of the time.

 Collaboration: Collaborative learning, particularly through the

use of collaborative tasks.

 Socialization: Development of social skills (e.g. politeness,

respect for others) that people need to operate successfully in
any culture.

 Motivation: It is a fundamental aspect of successful learning.

Interaction gives learners the opportunity to use language
successfully and to measure their progress which in turn should
lead to an increase in motivation.
Student-Student Classroom Interaction

their ideas with others students

Student-Content Interaction

 It allows reinforcing active learning.

actively assimilate rather than passively
