inductive reasoning: reasoning from detailed facts to general 
principles
 
informal knowledge: knowledge about a topic that children 
learn through experience outside of the classroom. 
Information gap: a situation where information is known by 
only some of those involved in communication. In order to promote 
communication in the classroom there must be an information gap 
between students, or between a teacher and students. 
innovation: the introduction of something new, a new idea, 
method or device into FL teaching and learning process.
 
inquiry: a process in which students investigate a problem, 
devise and work through a plan to solve the problem, and propose a 
solution to the problem. 
Inquiry-based learning: knowledge is built in a step-wise 
fashion. Learning proceeds best in group situations. The teacher 
does not begin with a statement, but with a question. Posing 
questions for students to solve is a more effective method of 
instruction in many areas. This allows the students to search for 
information and learn on their own with the teacher's guidance. The 
topic, problem to be studied, and methods used to answer this 
problem are determined by the student and not the teacher. 
intelligence:  in psychology, the general mental ability involved 
in calculating, reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies,
