The significance of this research lies in innovating teaching methods and improving spoken English. By designing practice activities with clear goals, students are guided to participate in interactive practice learning.

The sample selected in this study was 30 students in grade 7 of the No.1 Junior High School in Changchun City, Jilin Province (1 class) in the academic year 2023, which was derived from a cluster random sampling method. The research tools were (1) Course lesson plan, (2) Oral English Quiz, and (3) Student satisfaction questionnaire. Conduct pre-test and post-test on the sample using the Oral English Quiz, and analyze the mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, and one-sample t-test of the data using statistical software.

Based on the scores from the statistical student satisfaction questionnaire, the overall results of the Interactive Teaching Method on oral English ability by students are at a high level (M=4.81, SD=0.39).
Conclusion: Research has confirmed that the use of interactive teaching methods can significantly improve English speaking ability, stimulate students' interest in learning, develop their independent learning ability, increase their motivation and initiative, and meet their individual learning needs.
