Interviews are an effective teaching method that promotes active learning and student engagement while enhancing communication and interpersonal skills. Key steps for implementing interviews in lessons include setting clear objectives, preparing materials, and facilitating discussions for student participation. The three-step interview strategy allows students to rotate roles as interviewer, interviewee, and reporter, fostering a comprehensive learning experience.
