[Abstract] At present, in our country, the English teaching of many schools lacks of interaction and the students have seldom opportunities of speaking English in the classroom. This paper begins from the meaning of the interaction, indicating that the interaction is the process of communicating the ideas and feelings and affecting each other. And then it proposes the theoretical basis of the interaction-teaching mode. Under the hypothesis of intercourse as the core of the English teaching theories, the classroom teaching should be interactive. Because of the intercourse, adopting the interaction is also urgent. In the interactive classroom, teaching should follow the principles: the guidance principle; the encouragement principle; the equality principle and the interest principle. In the interaction between the teacher and students, the teacher should change the traditional teaching style, encouraging the students to open their mouths. In the interaction among the students, the teachers can set up some tasks and the students finish the tasks together in the way of discussion, role-playing in a group etc. so as to produces active and interactive classroom atmosphere and creates the environment for students to speak English.

课堂互动和英语口语教学
【摘 要】 从目前来看无忧论文 【http://www.uklunwen.com】,我国许多学校的英语教学缺乏互动性,学生很少有口语锻炼的机会。本文从“互动”的含义入手,指出互动是两个或更多的人交流思想感情并且相互产生影响的过程。接着阐述了互动式教学模式的理论依据,在交际作为英语教学理论的核心这个前提下,课堂教学应该是互动式的,也正因为交际,实施课堂互动教学模式也就势在必行。在互动式的教学课堂里应遵循以下这些原则:指导性原则;平等性原则;激励性原则;兴趣性原则。在教师与学生的互动中,教师应该改变传统的教学风格,多激励学生,鼓励他们开口。而在学生间的互动中,教师可以设定一些任务,通过小组讨论,角色扮演等方式来共同完成目标,从而营造出积极互动的课堂气氛,为学生的口语交流创造条件。

1. Introduction
In current china, English has attracted people’s great attention. The classroom teaching has paid more attention to the communicative ability than the knowledge. The English that most students learnt is “mute English”. In our country, many English learners are only “coping examination”, but not see it as a tool for communication. Most of their communication ability is low, which is the actual truth. In the “spoon-feed” classroom, many students only listen to the teacher, but have no opportunities to open their mouths, or students only follow their teacher, but have no interaction. These problems make the students lose their interest and enthusiasm of learning English. Hence, the classroom loses the active atmosphere and, at last, is not benefit for fostering the students’ oral English.
