These photos were taken during a class session I led for in-service teachers at UTA. They are working toward "licenciatura" as EFL teachers but are already in positions in the schools. They are practicing what's called an "Information Gap" activity, which I showed them how to set up for their students. The idea is that one student has information that another is missing, so they are forced to speak to each other (in the target language) to complete the task. This brought back memories for me because I remember distinctly learning this technique when I was preparing to be a French teacher. I used it quite a bit with my high school foreign language students.
