language development. Therefore, teachers’ feedback is very crucial to students’ development. g. Communicative Competences. Interaction involves all communicative competences like grammatical, discourse, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and strategy.

Different topic needs a different role. Even, in an activity, teachers sometimes do several roles all together. Here are some roles suggested by Brown 2001: 166-168. a.
