摘要

This study examines the relationship between interaction and English learning in the Chinese classroom context and identifies how interactive approach may enhance English learning. Accordingly the aims designed are as follows: 1) to do the research about whether Chinese learners engage in appropriate meaning negotiations in English class and in which type of class they are more likely to engage in meaning negotiations; 2) to study whether interaction promotes learners' mastery of learning materials; 3) to identify whether the interactive approach is superior to the traditional teaching method in developing learners' overall English proficiency.
