CALL MY BLUFF!

Our teacher assistant has just carried out a very enjoyable activity on idioms. I realized that you all had a great time coming up with definitions to fool your classmates! Don't you see? Learning tough vocabulary does not necessarily have to be dull and boring. You can have a look at the presentation below to check all the idioms my C1 groups of students have been playing with. There is quite a bunch! Can you guess them all? Enjoy!

LET'S KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR TOGETHER!

We have just had our first 2020 class! and I couldn't miss the opportunity to kick off the new year with some inspiring activities which were mainly aimed at language resolutions for 2020. To shake things up a bit, we started with the top 20 English idioms for the new year , according to Purland training, a great site for both English teachers and students alike. Do not hesitate to check it out! After working with the vocabulary, it was high time to put the idioms into practice with a listening activity, courtesy of @natalialzam , which confirms the fact that picking unrealistic goals as New Year's Resolutions is impractical and, in most cases, insensible at all! No matter how optimistic your resolutions might be, just strive to stick to them because... no pain, no gain!
