How important to know and master the classroom interaction for better learning

1. ** Telling is not teaching / listening is not learning; Teaching is listening & learning is talking **
The term classroom interaction refers to the speaking contact between the teacher and his or her
learners .
But why classroom interaction is very important ?
The class interaction is very important for both experienced and novice teachers , dealing with very
young learners , who are hyperactive , the first challenge is how to master their motivation ?
1) Teacher - Students :
Starting by (teacher - students = here all the class repeat twice or thrice ) , the teacher has to find the right
place where to stand to enable all the students or the learners see him or her well and helps them concentrate
on what he or she is going to utter . The teacher has to speak very slowly , uttering well each letter and each
word , then a full sentence and moving his or her face from right to the left .
2) Teacher - 1 student :
Then (teacher - one student where the teacher has to move between the rows showing the appropriate
visual aid and invite the learners one by one to repeat)
3) Student - teacher:
Later, (student - teacher) where the teacher will be able to check if the learners really can repeat clearly and
utter and pronounce clearly and correctly
4) Student - student :
later ( student - student= here the learners can perform in closed pairs <learners sitting next to each others>
or open pairs < the first student at the first table with the one at the back
 Teachers have to be aware about the type of the classroom interactions in order to avoid the trap to fall in
what is call TTT ( teacher's talking time) where the teacher is the only one who speaks in class , gives
instructions , repeats and solves the tasks. Respecting such type of interaction and moving slowly with
controlled steps will give the learners confidence to perform in front the audience , they will play roles ( where
they can show dramatization),loud reading interaction .......
 Classroom interaction develops both the listening and speaking skills which helps the learners discover
their own learning styles , helps the learners communicate with their peers or in front an audience , engage
learners to feel free and gain confidence to face the board phobia, engage their own learning
