Despite its utility, the Interaction 2 answer key is not without its pitfalls. The primary risk is the reduction of learning to a binary game of "right vs. wrong." If a student consults the key solely to fill in the correct answers on a worksheet, the pedagogical value is lost. This superficial engagement bypasses the cognitive struggle necessary for neuroplastic changes in language acquisition. Additionally, the answer key represents a "standardized" version of English that may not always account for the diverse, global nature of English usage. In speaking tasks, a rigid adherence to the answer key’s phrasing might inadvertently suppress a student’s authentic voice. Therefore, the answer key must be treated as a guide, not a law.
