Improving Teacher-Student Interaction in the English Classroom: An Action Research Report

Abstract

It is a common scene in many of the secondary school classrooms where a teacher does not encounter a participatory class. Especially in English classrooms students find it tough to converse fluently in English and this is a great inhibitory factor for the teacher to bring out her fullest efficiency. The present study aims to bridge this gap by making students feel comfortable and less inhibited inside classroom. This study aims to develop a congenial environment by instilling confidence by interactive methods and thus making students respond more in classroom. The student teacher who taught carried this out efficiently and was patient enough to deal with various nuances of learning .She was adept enough to steer with the learning variations of students and motivate them. This study establishes the fact that the manoeuvring ability of teacher makes a difference in the classroom. The untiring enthusiasm of pupil teacher was the key factor in successful interactive session.
