IntroductionTeaching English is a challenge for teachers. Teachers need to improve the proficiency of their students in the two dimensions of the use of language such as social interactions and academic skills.

Not only they have to work hard and motivate their students, but also they have to look for the right strategies for English learners. To teach English, professors need to use different strategies to create an environment, and activities that fit with students’ needs and knowledge.

In the following work, we will explain one of the useful six key strategies which is “Guided Interaction” and also macro activities which are questioning activities, and problem-solving activities. In addition, the work contains templates of the activities which are related to the strategy.
