Classroom Interaction Patterns: Advantage & Disadvantage

They were not exposed to enough practice of speaking on their own and hence the interaction among the students in classroom was almost absent. But as the Teaching method changed with time so has the education system. Teaching method now demands more of students interaction rather than just to listening to the teachers. Hence the classroom interaction is very essential in today, teaching methods.
