Summary
In this paper I explore the changes that occurred in the performances of 10-year-old children when they practised two popular interactive tasks in pairs. Both the learners’ feedback and the recorded data suggest that this type of systematic repetition/practice is beneficial for children’s language learning and boosts their confidence in using English.
