Class interaction is about students having an active discussion during
class. Interactions occur both between students with no teacher present, and
with the teacher who probes student thinking among the whole group. There are
many ways on how to communicate with students, especially in the classroom.In
general a teacher plays a major role towards having good interaction in the
classroom. Whether by small groups or whole-class discussion, teachers can do
much to create an interactive classroom.
The first and foremost rule is to create a friendly environment. Teachers
should invest some class time in learning students' names, asking about other
classes, inquiring about students' lives outside college, or sharing something
about their own. These informal interactions offer a chance to use facilitative
responses. It may seem like time consuming , but studies indicate that this kind
of hospitality pays off in higher student achievement.
Then it’s the teachers role to make sure that the students understands
each and every instruction and orders that he has given to them.As in certain
cases there are teachers who speak too softly or they may face problems in
pronouncing certain words .This may create a scene and students may loose
their interest due to the weak communication . In which leads to a serious
communication breakdown in between the teacher and the students .
Another important issue that a teacher should take into consideration is to
make sure that he or she pays the same amount of attention to all the students I
a classroom and there is no any form of favouritism among their students .All
students must be given an opportunity to ask or to express their views in the
classroom.In certain cases there are teachers who prefers only his or her
favourite students to awnser or give any form of feedback towards the lesson that
has be carried out.This creates an unpleasant feeling among the other students
and it creates dissatification among them and another communication
breakdown.
One more issue that may effect the communication in the classroom is the
way a teacher reacts towards any form of situation that takes place in the class .If
the teaher has a positive method in handling situation,then the students will not
hesitate to communicate in the class.Obviously,when a teacher has managed to
catch their students interest and attention,the classroom would be a great place
to be in and there will be no any form of communication breakdown in between
teacher and students .
