Abstract

Jigsaw reading activities have been a mainstay of communicative language teaching (CLT) for over three decades. Most of us are familiar with ‘case-comparison jigsaws’, in which different students read about different examples (cases) of the same phenomenon (e.g. restaurants) and then share the content with each other. However, many other types of jigsaw are also possible, such as grammar jigsaws, research jigsaws and story jigsaws. This article provides a number of ideas for different types of jigsaw, and also presents an original taxonomy of jigsaw activities for English language teachers.
