Types
Of Classroom Interaction
Classroom interaction consists of two types: non-verbal
interaction and verbal interaction. Non-verbal interaction is related to
behavioral responses in class. It means students interact through their
behaviors such as head nodding, hand raising, body gestures, and eye contact. Verbal interaction, on the contrary, contains written
interaction and oral interaction. Written interaction is the style of
interaction in which students write out their ideas, thoughts. It means they
interact with others through written words, documents and so forth. By
contrast, oral interaction implies that students interact with others by speaking
in class, answering and asking questions, making comments, and taking part in
discussions. they are reading aloud, conversation, role-play and question and answer.Example of Classroom Interaction
