The following questions are proposed： （1） What is interactionist theory？; （2） How can we improve interaction between international students and faculty？; and （3） How can we improve interaction between international students and domestic students？ According to these questions, literature review was conducted to explain interactionist theory, and the possibility that interactionist theory can be applied in internationalized curriculum was discussed in two aspects： （1） enhancing the interaction between international students and faculty when teaching internationalized curriculum; and （2） enhancing the interaction between international students and domestic students when teaching internationalized curriculum.展开更多

After a survey of the two diverse theories in SLA, the authors conclude that the software is designed based on the behaviorist theories. Therefore, the so-called"interactive communication"is just an empty boast.展开更多
