MOBILITY 3. Creative Teaching in the Secondary and Adult Language Classrooom. The Lake School of English, Oxford, the UK. Montse Bultó. Day 1

1. Welcome meeting and introductions. Tutors: Sian Tezel and Lucy Holmes.

2. ICEBREAKERS: the trainer gives ideas on how to start a course and help students get to know each other, such as find someone who, identification images, have you ever..., make statements true for you among other ideas.

• https://wordart.com/ is a tool to create word clouds from which students can ask each other questions, to which they can answer yes or no.
• Students in circles: arguments for / against tea or coffee, cats and dogs, country and beach // questions and your partner cannot answer yes/no, mime actions you hate doing…

3. TEACHING PHRASAL VERBS: use pictures and images to remember them. Create different games for students to use the words again and again so that they end up learning the new vocabulary. For example, use pelmanism to remember pairs of words, such as collocations, idiomatic intensifiers and binomials

(Theory says that we can learn 7 words a day + internalize them if we use them 5 times)
