3. Define classroom interaction and how important is it in learning a new language? Classroom interaction is essential for language learning as it provides opportunities for practice, feedback, and development of language skills, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and communication strategies, while fostering cultural awareness, motivation, and collaborative learning.

4. Input Hypothesis: The Input Hypothesis states that language acquisition occurs when learners are exposed to comprehensible input that is slightly above their current level, allowing them to build their linguistic competence and progress in their proficiency. Proposed by Stephen Krashen. Example: Teacher uses simple words and pictures to explain a new concept. Learners need comprehensible input slightly above their level (i+1).

5. Speaking or writing helps learners notice gaps in their knowledge. Output Hypothesis Proposed by Merrill Swain. Example: Students discuss a topic in groups, helping them identify what they need to learn.

6. Developed by Michael Long. Conversational interaction is crucial for SLA. Provides feedback, meaning negotiation, and output modification. A student asks for clarification during a discussion, and another student explains it. Example Interaction Hypothesis

7. Types of Classroom Interactions Teacher-Student Interaction: Teacher asks questions, student responds, teacher corrects mistakes. comma ( , ) Teacher-Student Interaction: Teacher asks questions, student responds, teacher corrects mistakes. Group Work: Students discuss and plan a group project in the target language.

8. BENEFITS OF CLASSROOM INTERACTION Increased Exposure: Regular interaction increases exposure and familiarity. Immediate Feedback: Teachers and peers provide immediate feedback. Enhanced Motivation: Interactive activities boost motivation and confidence. Example: Participating in a classroom debate in the target language.

9. Practical Techniques Think-Pair-Share: Think about a question, discuss with a partner, share with the class. Example: Students write what they will do next weekend, discuss with a partner, then share with the class. Information Gap Activities: Students communicate to complete a task. Example: One student has a map, another has directions; they communicate to find the route.

10. Role-Playing: Students act out scenarios requiring specific language functions. Example: Students take turns being a customer and a waiter in a restaurant. Practical Techniques Error Correction Exercises: Students make intentional errors and correct each other. Example: Sentence scramble activity where students correct jumbled sentences.

11. Conclusion Effective classroom interaction facilitates SLA. Provides meaningful communication, practice, and feedback. Engaging in diverse interactive activities helps learners improve. laibah class How would you use the Output Hypothesis in a classroom activity?
