  "title": "Give each speaker information the other needs",
  "summary": "A real information gap gives the next question a job.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Create a task in which neither speaker can finish alone. Each has different facts and must ask, clarify and confirm in the target language. The task is an original application of interaction research, not evidence that any role-play produces fluency.",
  "limits": [
    "Use invented non-sensitive details. A partner or AI that already sees both answer sheets removes the information gap."

    "Conversation practice consists of reading predictable answers aloud."

    "Use invented non-sensitive details. A partner or AI that already sees both answer sheets removes the information gap."
  ],
  "example": "One person knows a delivery window; the other knows warehouse opening hours. They must agree on a feasible arrival time without showing their notes.",
  "check": "Did they reach a correct shared outcome and repair misunderstandings, not merely finish a dialogue?",
  "steps": [
    "Give partners different schedules, requirements or problem details.",
    "Agree on an outcome that needs both sets of information.",
    "Keep the missing facts hidden until they have been communicated."
