In this context, the teacher has an important role in supporting classroom interaction because the teacher is a motivator as well as a facilitator to develop students' abilities. When learning English, it is found that there are still many students who are not confident and choose to be silent, and there are also those who speak but still use the mother tongue as a whole word with the excuse of not knowing and afraid of being wrong, therefore it is advisable for teachers to provide encouragement, motivation and praise that builds students' confidence to speak, especially using English.
