How much lamb do we need to buy?
1 kilo will be enough.
Do we need any butter?
Yes, 50g will be enough.
There will be a real need for communication because the student with list A doesn’t
know how much butter is required. Similarly, the student with list B doesn’t know how
much lamb is needed. Such activities are called information gaps because there is a
gap between the various bits of information the students have.
The communicative approach often refers to speaking activities, however the other
skills can also be practised in a communicative way. The essential element is to
ensure that there is a reason for carrying out the task other than just practising
language.
