Reflection on the project!

Working in pairs in 2021 is quite challenging when everything is done online. 

I have been working with my partner Ersila for the project we have to present in the Technology in EFL class. We live in two different cities and unfortunately it was not possible for us to meet. 

Besides that, it was a bit difficult due to our preoccupations too, and we had to rearrange our time and daily activities to make the project work. 

But I am glad I got to work wtih Ersila for the project. She is very nice and a smart person. We had a great communication and were able to bring our ideas to life. We spent a lot of time doing research and planning our work. 

Pair work is an important aspect in learning. Pair work activities encourage co-operation between students since, in order to complete a task successfully, they have to work together and help create a very positive learning atmosphere in class – one where they genuinely want to work with others. It also normally leads to students being less afraid of making mistakes. In addition, most students grow in confidence as they discover that they can complete a task successfully without constant help from the teacher.

Pair work is dynamic and active. Learning cannot really take place unless the students are actively involved in the process. It keeps us active which increases our ability and desire to learn. Pair work provides some variety during the lesson.
