Extract

Chapter 4 explores why incorporating pairings and grouping in language classrooms has been found to support learners’ language skills. In particular, research has found that the opportunity to negotiate for meaning and participate in communicative interactions is a key result of peer interactions. Authors interpret these findings and propose a series of classroom-based activities for readers to sample in their lessons.
