ROOM INTERACTION.

COMMUNICATION AND CLASS ROOM INTERACTION

Communication

is

sharing

of

common

experience with others. Communication is defined

as the process of passing ideas or feelings from one
person to another . Etimologically communication
has been derived from the Greek Word Communis
which means to make common. Thus when
something is communicated it becomes common
knowledge of communicators and receivers. You

may also come across a situation where a pearson

has been completely misunderstand his or her
listeners. There are many problems that families
encounter that on closer analysis reveal their origin
in miscommunication between family members and
the list to go on.

DEFINITION OF COMMUNICATION
Edger Dale defined communication as
sharing of

ideas, feelings in a mood of

mutuality.
Keith and Devis defined communication
as a process of passing information and

understanding from one person to another

In verbal communication the elements
include the sender of the message, the receiver
or listener, the message itself, the channels
through which the message is sent, and feed
back.

COMPONENTS IN COMMUNICATION

CONCLUSION
The present study reveals that both learner and teacher know
about class room interaction, they consider that promoting it can have a
positive impact on a learners speaking capacities. It primarily gives the
opportunities to receive comprehensive input and feedback. So, through
a regular interaction with others, learners can try new hypothesis about
how English work and then then increase the pace of their speak
