Abstract

Abstract In recent years, ‘the field of higher education ha[s] become increasingly interested in assessing traditional instruction practices (e.g., lectures) and modifying them towards more student-centred and active instructional approaches’ (Kozanitis and Nenciovici 2023: 1377). Innovations in practice, such as talking pairs, are being embraced by instructors to advance their pedagogy and engage students more deeply in their learning. This report focuses its attention on the partners students talk to, the concern being that the quality of learning is affected if these are not changed regularly. To positively address this, a suite of creative strategies is helpfully ‘pooled together’ to help instructors get students into talking pairs, along with a recognition of associated practicalities. By mixing it up, instructors can effectively support the improved capabilities, attainment and learning of students in the university classroom.
