FOSTERING STUDENT PARTICIPATION THROUGH INTERACTIVE TEACHING IN BASIC ENGLISH CLASS
Abstract: The purpose of the
study was to examine the 1st semester teacher college students’ perceptions of
the interaction between them and their teacher in Basic English class through
class discussion interactive teaching in Basic English class. To create a successful
and effective teaching, cooperation between teacher and students is needed. An
effective teacher must be able to present their material, effectively manage
their classroom according to the lesson they’ve planned, accommodate their
students’ needs, and enhance their students’ participation in the learning
activities. Participants were 25 students who reported their perceptions on the
interactive teaching in addition to their learning process. Result suggested
that the interactive teaching fostered student participation during the
learning activities. Teaching method such as class discussion that involved the
whole class participation to raise questions and discuss about the answer or
solution would require interaction between teacher and students more intensively.
This interactive teaching method could be implemented for college students,
especially because they were expected to participate more actively in the
learning activities and become more independent learners. This study could also
be an alternative for any educational practitioners who would like to foster
their students’ participation.
