Although each methodology has its own unique vision of how learning should take place in the EFL classroom, they are all, in varying degrees, restrictive. The following paper will explore the interactive approach to language learning and argue that it offers possibilities that more prescriptive methodologies do not. It is an approach that is governed by tenets not steadfast rules; one that views the learner as an active participant in the classroom not as a passive learner; one that maintains that language should not only be an object of study, but rather an interactive experience in which learners willingly engage with each other and communicate using the second language., Bulletin, 研究ノート, Research Note}, pages = {157--163}, title = {The Interactive Approach}, year = {2015} }
