Assessing how pair work improves students' skills in academic and professional contexts, the research focuses on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar accuracy, and general speaking confidence. The research, which makes use of questionnaires and in-depth interviews with sixty students, finds that working in pairs considerably increases self-assurance, vocabulary, and grammar proficiency. Even if obstacles like uneven participation and communication breakdowns still exist, several students reported gains in their active speaking and pronunciation skills.
