I-introduction:
this module talks about that teachers need to increase the quantity and the quality of english spoken by their students in their classrooms. this workshop will introduce the basic interactions found in EFL classrooms and will demonstrate techniques for teachers to create a more interactive and communicative classroom.
II-Why use classroom interaction techniques?
when students listen they're focusing on meaning and may not pay attention to form. However, when students speak, they must consider form as well as meaning to get their ideas across. it is important that teachers provide opportunities for producing english within the classroom because it can be used to give students a chance to build their oral language proficiency. Students can practice using english in meaningful and communicative contexts with the teacher's guidance and feedback
benefits of increasing students' oral english production in the classroom
—Familiarizes students using english
—Motivates students to learn english
—Build students’ confidence in using english
—Gives students the opportunity to notice “the gap”
—Get feedback from the teacher
Teachers' role
—Provide authentic language situations and material
Create a non-threatening classroom environment in which students will be motivated to
participate
Make sure that each student has the opportunity to interact in class
“push” students into producing output
Provide each student with feedback on their progress
students' role
Participate and cooperate in classroom activities
Risk making mistakes.
Try out, experiment, and create with the language
Learn and use language learning strategies
Provide feedback to the teacher
Ask for help and correction
III- teacher-directed interaction techniques
what are some ways we can promote students language production in our classrooms?
1-give students opportunities to speak
a- repetition
b-ask and answer questions
c-paraphrase the content
d-summarize the content
e-give examples
f-give an opinion on or personalize the content
2-prompt students to improve the quality of their responses
after students provide some output, the teacher can "push" the quality of it by getting
students to
students to
work with their output. In adittion, the teacher should be ready to assist students when
they
they
struggle with correcting or improving their output.

student - student interaction techniques
both quantity and quality of students can suffer because
students lack negotiation skills
students are unable to ask questions
students aren't given clear tasks or models
the following activities work well because they...
increase the amount of classroom interaction
give students practice in asking questions
give students clear language models
improve students' accuracy as well as fluency
allow all students to participate equally
build students' confidence in the negotiations process
controlled pair work
1- give a small bit of language input
2- check comprehension using Q&A
3- have students in pairs do the exact same interaction being sure that you clearly model the
interaction desired
giving students language models
