Social Interaction in the Classroom as a Tool for Learning a Second Language

As stated by Fillmore (1979), "Language can only be learned when providing the appropriate type of input to the child's second language learner, which means that the learner's own meaning of participation It is the language used in certain social situations "(Fillmore, p. 205) In the course chosen by Juan, Juan utilizes the full opportunity to interact with partners and promotes language development through social interaction did. The content of the "family" course begins with an invitation song that uses gestures to identify the various members that make up the family.

Introduction Classroom interaction is widely recognized as one of the most important elements in the second language classroom, which enables learning of the second language. As pointed out by Xu (1995: 11), "... the language used affects the nature of the interaction, which also affects the possibilities of learning." This statement is quite true in Hong Kong . Students rarely use English in their daily lives. - An important issue in teaching practice is teacher prejudice. Teacher prejudice affects race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socio-economic status. The teacher examines his belief, recognizes his prejudice and thinks that he can overcome it. To become a true social justice educator, teachers need to evaluate their ideal practice and to recognize and evaluate their own power in the classroom (Cooper, 2003).

Interaction is the key to second language learning. However, one of the biggest challenges facing foreign language (FL) education is how to construct an interactive learning environment outside the classroom, learners exchange information in the target language (TL) and share ideas Can be exchanged. The challenge that Campbell (2004) really cites is that different ESL learners do TL communication outside the classroom and EFL learners "come back to the world". TL interchange opportunities, and in the class "I do not have the opportunity to use what they have learned"

Learning a second language usually starts with a classroom. But until we go to the world we will verify the success (or failure) of learning with language to achieve the goal. This transition or transition from a traditional (course prepared) interactive field to an unpredictable reality involves its own task. Language Learning Classroom (Hope) is a misplaced environment that you can relax when communicating with other learners. On the other hand, the real world is not so tolerant. When you are in the next row, ordering a cup of coffee in a non-native tongue at peak time can easily freeze, make mistakes, and become a mistaken drink! Express yourself as a challenge, find the right words, and deliver the right idea in changing circumstances. (Actually, this is not the only dilemma of language learners, it is the average learner.)
