Abstract
Interaction is becoming more important in English learning. It
is in relation with the need of the ability of the students to
communicate in English. Success or failure in classroom
language learning typically has something, if not absolutely
everything, to do with the nature of interaction that takes place
during lessons. Language learning is the result of opportunities
for meaningful interaction with others in the target language.
Learning to interact in English means learning to communicate
in English. Interaction is an important aspect in language
learning because it is what people do in daily lives. This
research aimed to describe and interpret the meanings of
classroom interaction. The instructor interacted with individual
students by accepting feeling, praising or encouraging,
accepting or using ideas of the student, asking questions,
lecturing, giving directions, reminding noisy students, and
helping the student's work. In relation to the English lesson, the
students interacted with their friends by talking about the
activity asked by the teacher, discussing the teacher's questions,
and asking about difficult words or expressions.
