PHRASAL VERBS (SECOND CLASS)

HELLO DEAR CLASSMATES! I TAUGHT PHRASAL VERBS IN MY SECOND CLASS IN INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH I. IT IS A LITTLE BIT COMPLICATING TO TEACH BECAUSE STUDENTS ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SOME PREPOSITIONS OR ADVERBS THAT YOU USED TO FORM A PHRASAL VERB.

FOR THE WARM UP, I PLAYED "THE TEACHER SAYS". I DID IT USING SOME PHRASAL VERBS SUCH US: TURN THE LIGHT OFF, PUT YOUR CELL PHONE AWAY, STAND UP, SIT DOWN, ETC. STUDENTS ENJOYED THIS ACTIVITY BECAUSE IT WAS A TPR, SO THEY DO NOT GET BORED.

THIS TIME, I HAD TO TEACH GRAMMAR. I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT EASY, SO I MADE A CHART WITH EIGHT PHRASAL VERBS. IN ONE COLUMN WAS THE VERB, NEXT THE MEANING, FINALLY, THERE WAS AN EXAMPLE USING THAT PHRASAL VERB. I COULD SEE THAT IT FUNCTIONED BECAUSE STUDENTS UNDERSTOOD MY EXPLANATION.

THEN, I DID A FILLING IN THE BLANKS PRACTICE. STUDENTS HAD TO WRITE THE CORRECT PHRASAL VERB, AND AS GUIDE, I GAVE THEM A GLOSSARY WITH THE PHRASAL VERBS THAT THEY COULD USE AND THE CORRESPONDING MEANING.

THE LAST ACTIVITY THAT I DID WAS TO ASK THEM TO MAKE GROUPS OF FIVE, AND THEY HAD TO SHARE SOME QUESTIONS USING THE PHRASAL VERBS THAT I GAVE THEM. FINALLY, I ASKED THEM TO SHARE THE QUESTIONS WITH THE WHOLE GROUP.

WELL, AS YOU COULD SEE, IT WAS AN INTRODUCTION OF A NEW TOPIC, SO IT WAS A HARD CLASS TO ME. HOWEVER, I AM HAPPY BECAUSE STUDENTS ARE LEARNING MORE DAY BY DAY.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS!
