MOBILITY 3. Creative Teaching in the Secondary and Adult Language Classrooom. The Lake School of English, Oxford, the UK. Montse Bultó. Day 2

VOCABULARY We learned a lot of new vocabulary and worked our way through new words with different games. 

1. COLLOCATIONS

https://quizlet.com/

●      2 teams + handout on the wall (opposites). Stds stand in  a line and one pencil that they have to pass and write answers on the paper on the wall. For mixed abilities: number stds according to the level (easier and moved to more difficult).

●      Use arrowed circles to learn collocations (missing words, draw arrows and add words).

2. IDIOMATIC INTENSIFIERS

3. BINOMIALS

●      Tagul.com, https://wordart.com/ Include one of the binomials and find the partner (not very appropriate for dyslexic students).

●      Charts with collocations and a student throws a counter and uses the expression below the counter to start a story. In groups, they make up a story in order. Option for HW: write down the story.
