Как интересно и эффективно учить слова?

Александра Цветкова, тьютор департамента иностранных языков, делится отличной идеей работы с лексикой!

"I came across one inspirational video by TED’s speaker Matt Cutt at the exact moment I was thinking what could be done to help my students improve their general level of English along with creating a language learning environment beyond the course program and the classroom. I did not want my students to have a feeling of being overloaded, so everything should have to be done in small steps, that is why Matt Cutt’s idea sounded perfect. I offered my students to take part in three 30-day "challenges". The first one — 100 new words — you need to learn 3 new English words every day. The second challege — 30 English idioms — you need to learn by heart 1 idiom a day. The last one — 30 new phrasal verbs— as in the previous challenge, 1 new phrasal verb a day. We developed our own system of reports and bonuses to mantain and enhance motivation. I hope that alongside the new knowledge my students got a very good experience of self-improvement and personal growth. You can watch this video and get your share of inspiration."
