Abstract

The interaction that takes place during classroom activities is crucial in science classes, especially Chemistry because it encourages students' involvement and engagement in order to promote students' knowledge during the learning process. Since International Class uses English as the medium of instruction, students are expected to interact in English. The purpose of the research is to find out how the interactions take place in the learning process and what is the students’ attitude toward classroom interaction. This research involved 27 students of the International Class in Chemistry Department UNP. The design of the research was using descriptive method. Video recordings in the form of transcripts, questionnaires, and interviews were used for the data collection. The data were analyzed by observation and descriptive statistics. The result revealed that the dominating category of each pattern, such as Lecturer-Students indicated the questioning category, Students-Lecturer indicated the response category, and Student-Student indicated the response category. In questioning and explaining the material, the lecturer dominantly used English in the learning process. The students showed interaction by responding to the lecturer’s questions. The student-student interaction showed less in the learning. Moreover, the students showed a positive attitude toward classroom interaction, so the interaction between the lecturer and the students can be implemented in the learning process.
