Information gap activities require pupils to communicate with each other in order to
solve a problem or complete a task. Information gap activities are consider an effective
way of developing speaking skills because it increase pupils talking time. In this activity,
pupils need to actively collaborate with classmates to achieve the activitys goal while the
teacher only facilitates the activity. Besides, motivation is usually quite high in these
activities. These activities help move the pupils from working in a more structured
environment into a more communicative environment by using the target language.
11(b). In order to fulfil the learning standard by using information gap activities, I will let
the pupils to find out their classmates information by using the card given. In the card,
there are three columns which are NAME, HOBBY and FAVOURITE FOOD. The NAME
column is filled with 10 pupils name. In order to fill in the HOBBY and FAVOURITE
FOOD columns, the pupils need to ask other pupils for the information. For example, the
first name on the list is Kelvin. So, the pupils need to find Kelvin and ask what is his hobby
and favourite food. However, when there is one pupil asking Kelvin, the other pupils should
find the other name and come back to Kelvin later. Every pupils need to ask and give
information by using full sentences.

Activity 2: Could you...?

In this engaging speaking activity, students practice asking permission and making
requests by asking other students to do things or give permission to do things. Students
are divided into groups of four and each student is given a card. The students play a game
where they ask permission and make requests and try to find the student in their group
who has the 'Yes, of course' response to their request. The first student begins by asking
one of the other three students the first request at the top of his/her card. If the respondent
answers 'Yes, of course', the student crosses off the request. If the respondent answers
'Im sorry', the student has to wait until the next turn before asking the request again to
another student. Then it's the next student's turn and so on. The aim of the activity is to be
the first student to cross off all three requests.

Activity 3: Missing Words

In this pair work activity, students guess missing words in sentences that make requests
and ask for or deny permission. The class is split into pairs and each student is given a
worksheet. The sentences with gaps on the worksheet are where the students have to
guess the missing words. The sentences without gaps are the ones their partner has to
guess. Student A guesses the missing words in the first sentence and Student B tells them
if they are right or wrong. After the missing words have been found out, Student B
guesses the missing words in the second sentence, and so on. When a student has guessed
a sentence correctly, they write the missing words on their worksheet.
