Newspapers and magazines only can offer information literally. Students can't see what
has happened with their own eyes, so they must have the aid of their minds to imagine the scenes. Differing from newspapers and magazines, videos and movies can offer scenes vividly to the students. A video or a movie can serve as a rich source of information about how language is used in the target culture as a tool of communication and social interaction. Watching a video or a film in classroom can bring enormous fun. But, for the time is limited, teachers should choose the most interesting part for the students. The program or movie will provide information about historical and social circumstances. Teachers should check the students' comprehension and allow them to pose questions. After watching, the students will be asked to express their impressions or take part in role-play activities. Then they will have a deeper understanding of the language and culture.

To sum up, the English classroom teaching must be imbued with an atmosphere of liveliness and harmoniousness so as to promote interaction. English should be treated as a tool for productive interaction, and the students should practice it whenever necessary. The strategies of stimulating interest, cooperation, using authentic materials and competition will greatly help to promote interaction in classroom. The more interactions are created, the more comfortable the students may feel, and more actively they will act. As a result, the students will become more creative and enthusiastic to master the
