							| category suggestion.... 
 |  
							| Hi, 
 
 I thought it would be a good idea to have a category labelled "information-gap" or perhaps "communicative activities", or maybe "pairwork". These are activities where person A has some information that person B doesn�t have, and they need to use English to find out the information. For example....

 - http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=355012#thetop (most original idea ever?)
 
 - http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=210269#thetop
 
 - http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=247729#thetop
 
 This is what I use ESL printables for (I have enough grammar and reading activities to do with them, which appear to predominate in the most popular worksheets). I know that these worksheets exist, but they are so hard to find, I have to open each one to check if it is communicative or not. Most of the time I adapt existing worksheets to make some kind of information gap, if I can.
 
 Anyone else want a "pairwork" category?

							| I agree with occurin �. I uploaded one of those some time ago, and I wasn �t sure where to include it! It would be great to have such a category so we can have both, the individual controlled practice, and the information-gap activities in pairs, which are a kind of controlled practice as well!

							| I am for the idea, It could be called "pair work activities" , or "speaking pair work activities". |  9 May 2010
