CLASSROOM INTERACTION
Description
For a young English teacher, figuring out classroom interaction may not be an easy matter, especially because in language-learning classrooms teaching runs differently from lecture-style classrooms. This article addresses teacher trainees who prepare themselves for ESP teaching, aiming to raise their awareness of a series of class management skills and techniques that are necessary for ensuring effective communication among learners. The paper will focus on teacher talk vs. student talk, the way students may sit during various types of activities, and certain aspects related to the process of decision-making in class. As a method, we will underline the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, and provide useful advice for teachers. At the end there are two tasks designed for trainees, which can be solved individually or in pairs/groups.
