My first training session „How to Tame phrasal verbs” came to exist in 2015.

Two years passed and out of a 90-minute session we now have four hours!

Your students hate phrasals (There are so many of them?! Why so many meanings? How to study this?, teachers also seem to dislike them (too many of them to teach, why confuse my students?)

I like challenges, always have, that’s why I decided to do research, test and play with this difficult area of English. The effect of all this two-year challenge is this training I am now presenting to you: HUNT THEM DOWN – how to tame vocabulary!

What are we going to do?

First off, I’ll show you step by step how to change a boring course book lesson into a challenging and engaging set of classes with a lot of speaking practice and games that will prove that lexis can be tamed 🙂

You’ll see how to use board games effectively with groups of adults
I’ll teach you how to look at a classical game of BINGO in a completely new and innovative way that is student-centered and requires students to think
You’ll learn my ways of language activation and / or remembering lexis. You will star as the student and test the games 🙂
You will see how using a simple PowerPoint or Word you and your students can create visual materials and mind maps
You’ll see how you can use conventional flashcards in an unconventional and creative way
You’ll be inspired by famous American hosts
and you’ll motivate your students to do homework!

Each attendee will get a healthy dosage of theory and practice .

Please prepare yourself for a day of testing, discussions and brainstorming. 🙂

All with a nice group of teachers and coffee / tea / sweets 🙂
