Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to indicate the significance of pair and group work implementation in the process of language study. The first issue tackled in this article refers to interactive principles leading students to successful achievements in terms of communication. Apart from principles, there is also a short presentation of roles that an interactive teacher takes on in the course of a lesson, and how they change at different stages. The following point validates the use of pair and group work in the classroom despite the presence of certain inconveniences and dangers. Furthermore, there is a description of principles and certain rules which serve as a guidance for teachers on how to organise pairs and groups without any obstacles. On top of that, a wide range of types of interactive activities appropriate for pair and group work is put forward. The last part of the article is a collection of exemplary exercises presented in the form of appendix.
