The results indicate that there were five classroom interaction patterns applied by the Thai English teacher. Three dominant patterns applied were choral responses (36.52%), teacher talk (27.54%), and close-ended teacher questioning (26.96%).  The patterns applied lead to the positive impacts including build a sense of comfort and belonging, promote students’ motivation, and enhance social development.
