Abstract

The premise behind internet jigsaws is the same premise behind all jigsaw activities and all cooperative learning – the information gap. When different learners have different information and need to exchange it to complete a task or play a game, you have the perfect conditions for a communicative activity. Given that the internet is the biggest source that has ever existed for such information, there are a million and more internet jigsaw ideas out there just waiting for your learners! Internet jigsaws can be adapted to almost any topic depending on what your learners are studying. Once you’ve tried out a few, you will also notice that different types of internet jigsaw can encourage learners to use different grammar structures, including past, present and future tenses, active and passive voices, comparatives and superlatives, and many more.
