Answer Key
Chapter 6 
Task 6.4
Perhaps the most obvious overall category to spot among 
these keywords is ‘preferences for different interaction 
patterns’ (including pairwork, groupwork and individual 
work), but this is hardly surprisingly, as this is what the 
teacher asked the students to write about! You may have 
spotted another important umbrella category emerging 
from this very small set of data: all five students talk about 
other students in some way (who they like, and don’t like
to work with, whether they work effectively with certain 
people, etc.). This is an interesting emerging theme, one 
that isn’t so obvious when you first look at the data.
Here’s one possible two-sentence summary. Notice how
the first sentence introduces the theme, and the second 
describes the finding:
An important part of pairwork and groupwork for these 
learners is who they work with. Their evaluations of 
which interaction pattern they preferred were often 
linked to how much they did or didn’t enjoy working with 
others, either in pairwork or groupwork, with several
of them mentioning preferring pairwork slightly more.
If you are writing this up as a finding from your research, 
you could then add a few quotes to illustrate the point you 
are making.
