In this episode I look at how you can use images effectively in the classroom and give your students more of those "a-ha" moments.
Through a job posting in a small Russian village, via a polyglot war hero, past split brain experiments and behaviourist studies, into Atkinson's Keyword Method (a vocab-learning approach) and out into the magic formula for "a-ha" moments, we look at what makes a perfect image.
At the end of the episode there are suggestions for different images you can use in the classroom today to teach various vocab and grammar points.

Episode 27 - Why Pragmatics Gives You Superpowers - An Interview with Andreas Grundtvig
In this interview, I discuss pragmatics and pragmatic competence with Andreas Grundtvig, author of "English is Context," a new book for teachers and learners about English pragmatics.
This is a big one! And we talk about a lot of amazing topics, including:
- how gamers now, the gay community in the early twentieth century and London Cockneys evolved their own language ... and why;
- why they rap the news in Senegal;
- how learning about Grice's maxims can help you see through propaganda;
- how to understand people from a particular country beyond the food, the flag and stuff like that;
- how to terrorize people ... by being polite!
- three things you can do right now to improve your pragmatic competence.
