1．Introduction
1.1 The background of teacher-student interaction
Many college English teachers are facing a problem: Students are unresponsive and avoid interaction with the teacher. This is especially true when a teacher seeks interaction in a teacher-student dialog, such as asking questions to the class as a whole, expecting at least one student to answer. This can be a frustrating experience for both parties. In fact, there will be a period when no student can answer teacher's question, and often students do not answer even if they understand the question, know the answer. Furthermore, students are often very reluctant to give feedback or ask the teacher a question in front of the class.In this class, the interaction between teachers and students is poor. On one hand, teaching enthusiasm is greatly affected that will decline the teaching effects. Also, On the other hand, Students find the courses boring, lack of passion and enthusiasm to participate.
1.2 The definition of classroom interaction
According to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, “interaction” means “a mutual or reciprocal action by which two or more People or things affect each other”. From this definition, we can assume that the two-way effect is of primary importance in the concept interaction, in contrast to the casual effect of one-way and that equality and co-operation are given prominence.
