Check the statement that is FALSE about information-gap activities:

The teacher should bear in mind that information-gap activities are free
practices and so there can’t be linguistic preparation.
Roleplays should take into account students’ need and interests and
provide them with an opportunity to use the language they have
learned to achieve communicative purposes.
There should be some linguistic preparation before them, in which the
group predicts the language needed for the task.

Read the instructions below and decide which phase of the lesson it is
referring to.

1. Books closed. Ask students what they should eat to have a


balanced diet.

3. You may want to write the words on the board and carry out
chorus repetition of them.
4. Books open. Ask students to match the food items and the
words. When they are done, pair them up for peer correction.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Books open. Ask students if they go grocery shopping and if they know
the price of different food and products. Ask the price of some
products.
2. Tell students Joan is going grocery shopping. Tell them they will listen
to the conversation between Joan and the grocery shop assistant and
should complete the table in their books.
3. Go through the table with students and make sure they understand what
information they need to complete it with.
4. Play the audio. Ask students to compare their answers with a classmate.
Then check them with the whole class.

Segundo CHAT GPT:

The activity described can be classified according to the ESA (Engage-Study-


Activate) framework as follows:

Engage:

 Step 1: Books open. Ask students if they go grocery shopping and if they
know the price of different food and products. Ask the price of some
products.

Study:
 Step 2: Tell students Joan is going grocery shopping. Tell them they will
listen to the conversation between Joan and the grocery shop assistant
and should complete the table in their books.
 Step 3: Go through the table with students and make sure they
understand what information they need to complete it with.

Activate:

 Step 4: Play the audio. Ask students to compare their answers with a
classmate. Then check them with the whole class.

In this activity, the Engage phase involves engaging the students by asking
questions about their own experiences and knowledge. The Study phase focuses
on listening to a conversation and completing a table, providing a structured
study of the language or content. Finally, the Activate phase involves students
actively applying their knowledge and checking their answers through
comparison and class discussion.
What happens if teachers by-pass controlled practice activities during a lesson? Choose
2 alternatives. (Adapted from How to teach English by Jeremy Harmer. Pearson
Education Limited 2007) Teacher might have to return to study phase Teacher might
have to go over ENGAGE phase again. Teacher might have to organize controlled
practice after all. Students may have problems with the language they are learning.

The two alternatives that correctly complete the sentence are:

 Teacher might have to return to the study phase.


 Teacher might have to organize controlled practice after all.

If teachers bypass controlled practice activities during a lesson, it can lead to the
need for revisiting the study phase or organizing controlled practice later on.
This is because controlled practice activities are crucial for students to
consolidate their understanding and mastery of the language being learned.
Without these activities, students may face difficulties in fully grasping and
applying the language, requiring additional practice or a return to the study
phase to reinforce their learning.
