Yes it is feasible. Take a task like what i call the hopscotch game.
Here i first teach the new vocabulary so PPs can have a basic knowledge of the pictures and pronuciations and also a little retention since these are new words.
Then i start by placing flashcards on the floor then i hop on each flashcard and call out the nameS of the cards.
Later i pick out P1 and ask he/she to hop on the flashcards as i call out the names randomly. This is to check retention and also to keep the fun.
The other Pps watch the action carefully and each P takes a turn in the excersice.
Later on i have to pick 2 Pps. 1 is P1 and another T. T has to call out the vocabulary and P1 does the action.
This has created an environment where the students feel they are leading the activities in the classroom and not just watch me act all the time. So yes it is feasible

I like what you are doing here Noe, you are taking the classroom form being a Teacher Centred Classroom (T-WC) to a learner centred (S-S/Ss-Ss) classroom. This reduces the teachers talk time and maximises the time students communicate with each other using English! Great thinking!
