The Information Exchange Metro Journey
Seven stations help students turn an information gap into shared understanding.
Four-Hour Learning Journey
Each activity creates visible evidence that becomes part of the Information Exchange Portfolio.
Activity Sequence
Students learn professional information exchange through concrete workplace challenges, not isolated grammar practice.
Information Gap Detective
Before students learn how to ask, they first identify exactly what information is missing.
Learning message: Do not ask before you know what you need to know.
Question Type Sorter
Different questions produce different kinds of information. Students choose question types according to purpose.
Question Repair Shop
Turn vague, confusing, or demanding questions into clear professional questions.
Question Politeness Ladder
Students move from command language to formal professional requests and discover how politeness shapes workplace relationships.
The Answer Package
Students reverse roles and become information providers. Their answer should be relevant, reliable, readable, and complete.
“I Don't Know” Professionally
Professional communication does not require pretending to know everything. Accuracy and responsible follow-up build trust.
Context Switch
The same information need requires different language depending on audience, purpose, relationship, and context.
Clarification Rescue
Students identify confusion, ask for clarification, rephrase, and confirm shared understanding.
Direction Mission
One student has the destination. Another has the map. They must communicate without showing the map to each other.
Information Exchange Mission
The final team challenge integrates asking, listening, responding, clarifying, and confirming in realistic workplace scenarios.
60-Second Information Exchange
Student A demonstrates ASK → PROBE → CLARIFY. Student B demonstrates ANSWER → EXPLAIN → CONFIRM. Then they switch roles.
Peer Feedback — 2 Stars + 1 Question
Feedback stays clear, specific, helpful, and respectful.
AI Information Exchange Coach
AI helps students improve their own questions and responses without inventing facts or replacing the original situation.
Metro Passport — Station 08
Students self-check ten communication capabilities developed across the Week 8 journey.
Evidence of Learning
Week 8 is evidenced through visible performance and learning artifacts—not through a quiz alone.
Week 8 Capability Map
The capability sequence moves from recognizing an information need to professional exchange and shared understanding.
Capability Bridge: Week 7 → Week 8
Week 7 helps students explain the business. Week 8 helps them exchange the information needed to make the business work with other people.
“Professional communication is complete only when information becomes shared understanding.”
Ask Clearly. Listen Carefully. Answer Accurately. Confirm Understanding.
