Summary:

In any classroom, it is through language interaction that students are able to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and understand communication. Classroom Interaction for Language Teachers takes a look at the complex relationship between language, interaction, and learning to help teachers have a fuller understanding of interaction and, in doing so, promote a fuller understanding of their effectiveness as teachers. This easy-to-follow guide uses authentic classroom transcripts and provides practical strategies to help both teachers and learners develop the interactional competence to create more engaged, dynamic classrooms and more active, attentive learners.
