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 30 - Do You Need Grammar to Understand What People Are Saying?
Here's a question for you: Do you need grammar to understand what people are saying?
Really?
What about this sign I saw in a posh restaurant?
"No shirt. No tie. No service."
No grammar, right? But we totally understand what's going on here.
Interesting, right? Well, there's more.
Join me on this deep dive into how we really understand language. (Clue: it's not all about the grammar.)
We'll also look at why reduced relative clauses are so weird, how language is just a collection of ideas bunched together and how you can use "theme" and "rheme" to make better presentations, essays and conversations.
All stemming from an email from one of our listeners – shout-out to Hannah from Vietnam!
