Review of the last class

Today, I am going to review two of the "typical Japanese junior high school"communicative activities presented in ETM 3. The activities I am going to review are Information gap and Questionnaire. You can view them here

1.Information gap
It is a typical way of communicative activities. In this activity we often use a card in pairs and fill in the blanks which we don't know each other. It is a good way but it sometimes can be bored because it can lead only writing information that we hear.
To prevent this, I think it is a good idea to do using movement in doing this. If we do so, we can guess what the other is want to tell and it is understandable accorging to connect speaking and moving.

2.Questionnaire
In this activity, we make pairs and question each other what is written on a card. It is effective to practice how to ask a question but sometimes it is boring. It's because it can lead one-sided communication.
To solving this, we have to prepare the answers to the queastion to make a conversation more effective.
