ENHANCING STUDENTS’ INTERACTION

Research in Communicative Approach to Language Teaching has shown that competence in Oral and written language enhances as learners actively use the language. Exchanging ideas has become significant in the area of globalization. English is the second largest spoken language in the world and learners find it very difficult to communicate in English, though they learn it for years together, as it is taught as a knowledge subject and not as a skill subject. Hence enhancing communication skills in English becomes the need of the hour. My desire is to encourage my learners to interact more in English classes. The class room interaction will help to improve other language skills. This paper is a result of my personal experience with learners of Foundation Programme. This paper tries to bring out their problems and the methods adopted to train them in imparting speaking skills. This paper also describes the importance of “Enhancing Students’ Interaction” to acquire Communicative and sociolinguistic competence. Then it analyses the problems to increase interaction. After that it suggests how the teachers can promote an increase in student interaction.
