Abstract

The pair work assignments have always been considered to be more beneficial for the language learners when compared to individual assignments in many respects. However, the case is not clear as there are not many studies on the issue; since there are so many variables to control during a research conducted to find out the claimed superiority. In this respect, comprehensive grammatical error analysis and the analysis of discourse which aims to reveal the co-operation and solidarity levels have much to serve in order to compare the success levels of two assignment types. In the present paper, it is found out that the pair-work assignments not only have positive contributions for the production of "good English", but also lead to the development of inter-personal relations as well as co-operation among foreign language learners.
