Classroom interactive tasks under the lens: Bridging Tradition and innovation

Resumen

Classroom speaking tasks are widely used to foster oral skills – but how effective are they? This article explores real-world teacher-student and peer interactions, both in and beyond the classroom. After a brief theoretical grounding, there is a reflection on how theoretical notions and practical strategies, together with emerging tech tools, such as AI, can enhance these interactions. The primary objectives are to critically assess pedagogically designed oral tasks and discover ways to make student communicative competence and performance more impactful.
