4。 The Concept and Characteristics of Classroom Interaction

4。1 The concept of classroom interaction文献综述

Interaction is an important concept of English language teachers。 In the era of communicative language teaching, interaction is the heart of communication。 It is what communication all about。 Wilga M。 Rivers (Rivers 4-5) believed that: “Through interaction, students can increase their language store as they listen to or read authentic linguistic material, or even the output of their fellow students in discussions, skits, joint problem-solving tasks, 。。。Even at an elementary stage, they learn in this way to exploit the elasticity of language。”

According to the theory of interaction, interaction exists not only in spoken language, but also in written language。 To communicate with people, it is necessary to interact with each other in an interactive way, since it is a function of collective life。 The interaction of classroom means not only providing corpus to students for the construction of the target language, organizing classroom teaching effectively, encouraging students to participate in, but also the experience of the language learning process, the design of classroom activities and the reasonable arrangement of time。 And then teachers can construct the corresponding knowledge and promote the development of students’ English skills through exchanges and cooperation, exploration and practice。

What is essentially included in constructivist technique and activities is a procedure way to learning。 Students should interact with their instructor and their peers in the class activities。 They practice the language they have learned in different kinds of contexts, then they can develop and construct all aspect of language skills。
