In this case, teachers need to employ some proper strategies and approaches in order to deal with such kind of activity. Nowadays, a great number of teachers apply student-centered approach more than teacher-centered one in the way they teach English. Student-centered approach is believed to be able to encourage the teachers to raise their awareness to interact more with the students by implementing Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). In this library-based research paper, the writers would like to elevate the importance of classroom interaction in Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) as an important means for teachers in their respective classrooms. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Keywords:\u003Cbr>Communicative Language Teaching,\u003Cbr>English Language Teaching and Learning,\u003Cbr>Interaction,\u003Cbr>Learning Strategies, Student-Centered Approach |  |\n\nCorresponding Author:  \nMoh.

It could determine whether the learning objectives in each meeting in the classroom can be achieved or not. Relying on the fact, interaction becomes the main means for teacher and students to exchange their ideas, feelings, opinions, views, perceptions, and etc. Especially for the teachers themselves, maintaining interaction with students is very important. The approaches, methods, and techniques that the teacher applies in the classroom should be taken into account.  \nCommunicative Language Teaching (CLT) is one of the teaching methods that is in line with student-centered approach. CLT sustains the students to be able to interact with the target language, by overwhelmingly promote communicative events to be learned in the classroom. Larsen-Freeman (2000) states that Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) makes communicative competence as the goal of language teaching and by acknowledging the interdependence of language and communication. Based on this point of view, it can be seen that language and communication are interdependent. Those two matters cannot be separated. It means that when students learn a new language, meaning that they must learn about how to communicate with that language or how to use the language properly. They are not just learning the theories, but  \nshould be emphasized more on practices. In applying CLT in the classroom, English teachers are required to be creative and active when they lead the classroom. In other words, the teachers should always try to find the way to make the class becomes interactive.  \nA lot of research was done regarding to classroom interaction. Shim (2007) identified the interaction patterns between teacher and students in the middle school classro","cbCaii6xS5NmYIXB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii6xS5NmYIXB","pdf",333376,"English","# Introduction\n## Interaction in English language teaching\n## Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)\n## Prior research on classroom interaction","[{\"question\":\"Why is teacher-students interaction important in English language teaching?\",\"answer\":\"Interaction determines whether learning objectives can be achieved in each classroom meeting.
