Pair Interview involves which sequence of activities?

• A. An oral strategy where students interview a partner and report back to the larger group.
• B. A silent reading activity.
• C. A solo writing task.
• D. A teacher-led lecture.

Answer: (A)

Pair Interview focuses on oral collaboration. Students work in pairs to interview one another using guided questions, then report the partner’s responses to the whole class. This sequence—interview first, then share—keeps students actively engaged in speaking and listening, builds fluency through real-time conversation, and gives immediate practice in summarizing information for a larger audience. It also distributes speaking opportunities fairly, since each student both asks and answers questions, and the class benefits from hearing multiple viewpoints. The other options describe activities that don’t involve paired interaction or oral reporting: silent reading doesn’t require speaking; a solo writing task is individual and lacks partner discussion; a teacher-led lecture centers on the teacher rather than student talk.
