I want the learners in my classroom be interactive. Like when our
discussions start everyone must be called and participated. If one student can't
answer right, any one in class help him/her or even me. I will make it by giving
the topic advance for them to read it before come in the class. And I always said to
them that were family that help and love each other.

background, to interact and participate?
As a teacher, I have a responsibility to encourage my learners to
participate and interact in the class. I have in mind their religion, ethnic or race
background that i need to be sensitive. I also think of a strategy for them to
encourage to listen and actively.
