We can no longer resist technology in ELT. Although “brick-and-mortar” school structure is still the most common type of education, proponents of blended learning say that at least some part of instruction should be provided online. I believe these structures are not mutually exclusive.... Go to the parent website http://www.visual-idioms.com/.
A) After your
students have learned several idioms, print out the pictures. In the class, ask
one student to select a picture so that the other students can't see it. Get
the student to describe the picture in detail. After about one minute, the
other students can start guessing the idiom. Display the idiom next to the
picture so that the class can see it. Revise the meaning quickly. Alternatively,
especially with larger classes, this can be done in pairs or groups (to give
students more talking time).
B) Ask two
students to come to the board. They sit down facing the rest of the class.
Display a picture on the interactive board, (screen or white board) so that the
two students can't see it. The class describes the picture in detail and the
two students try to guess the idiom. They should not shout out the answers; the
first student to raise his/her hand can answer. Give points for correct guesses
(you can also give points for partial answers). This can be played as a team
game.
