INstinct for interaction and talk

The picture shows that the pupils share a close bond towards each other because they communicate and interact with each other most of the time. Moreover,the third reflection for the week is focusing on each qualities that helps a child in the foreign language classroom and how can the teacher build those qualities on them? The six main qualities are;

• Children's abiliy to grasp meaning
• Children's creative use of limited language resources
• Children's capacity for indirect learning
• Children's instinct for play and fun
• The role of imagination
• The instinct for interaction talk

As for my group, we were assigned to do the 6th quality which is the instinct for interaction talk. Talking about interaction, it is one of the most important aspect which a child brings when he or she enters the classroom. As we know, interaction is an important element that enhances the motivational value in using the language and the teachers are there to develop and help the pupils to use it properly.
On the other hand, learners would face difficulties in learning about the language until and unless he learns to communicate and socialize. As for Vygotsky's theory, he mentions that social interaction precedes to development, consciousness and cognition are the end product of it.
For instance; in schools teachers would come out with activities that involves the sharing and gaining information, for instance; Information gap activities. The pupils are required to share the information's in order for their friend to complete the chart or the game. Thus, this activity would involve the pupils to communicate and interact.
Hence, in order to learn to work with the young learners, as future teachers we must always know what are their cognitive development, their SES factor and cultural background. All this would determine their usage of the language and helps us to determine their level of proficiency.
