The improvement of the interaction with students

Abstract

I learned about the importance of interaction for the language education through Japanese language teaching practice in graduate school. I felt that I could not interact with students naturally during teaching practice in fall and winter semester. After the analysis, it was found that my unnatural interactions were caused by my responses to the students. In the teaching practice of spring semester, I felt that I interacted more naturally than before. However, there were big level differences among the students in my class. I talked a lot with the high level students and I neglected to deal with the non- talkative students. In this thesis, I will reflect on my interactions with students and look for the effective improvement method.
