Feasibility Study on the Application of Interactive Teaching Model in TESOL under the Background of Universal Grammar and L2 Acquisition Model

Abstract

The interactive teaching model is a new teaching methodology that is quite different from the traditional teaching model based on teacher's lectures and rote learning. It plays an important role in teaching English to non-native speakers of English, and more and more Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) practitioners are trying to adopt this model in their teaching. This paper will analyse the specific role played by the interactive teaching mode in TESOL from a linguistic point of view, and study the feasibility of the application of this mode in English teaching under the framework of Chomsky's Universal Grammar and Krashen's theory of second language acquisition. The teaching model will be analysed through the research methodology of literature study within the theoretical framework of universal grammar, input hypothesis, affective filter hypothesis and monitoring model. Through the study, this paper concludes that the interactive teaching model is in line with linguistic findings such as Universal Grammar and L2 Acquisition Theory, and its application in TESOL is highly feasible.
