This thesis presents the use of varied patterns of interaction in the English language at the lower level of secondary school, and the characteristics of teachers and learners. The most common mentioned types of varied patterns of interaction include pair work (open pair work when two learners work together in front of the whole class, and closed pair work when the whole classroom is divided into doubles working simultaneously) and group work. The third chapter of this thesis includes a questionnaire that consists of two sections. The first section involves questions directed on the description of the teachers filling in the questionnaire. The basis of the second section is the approach of teachers through various patterns of interaction and their use in teaching. The questionnaire will be supported by information from two teachers; one who uses varied patterns of interaction, and one who does not.
