"Discover the Differences" is an interactive activity designed to facilitate communication between students in a quest to find hidden information. To make the activity as "genuine" and motivating as possible, the source of the interaction is based on colorful illustrations, each of which has two slightly different versions. It is up to the students to communicate with each other using what language skills they have access to in order to specify how exactly the scene card they have differs from another student's. The activity also seeks to encourage students to "stretch" their interlanguage, so as to be more precise and convey meaning and detail more accurately and efficiently.
As a learner-centered approach, the emphasis is on collaboration and cooperation between students themselves. From a functional perspective, the students are likely to get valuable practice with using Yes/No and Information questions, all the while pursuing a very interactive and communicative goal.
