This document discusses different types of interaction patterns that can be used in a young learner classroom. It describes the advantages and disadvantages of both whole class work and pair work. For whole class work, it notes that everyone participates but it is controlled language production. For pair work, it highlights that student talking time is maximized but it is difficult to control. It also provides some conditions for successful pair work, such as giving students a reason for doing it and gradually introducing the structure.
