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 32 - Schrödinger’s Adjective and Three Other Pieces of Grammar Philosophy
Why is the past tense not the past tense?
Why are "done," "swum" and "gone" just adjectives dressing up as verbs so they can get into a "verbs only" party?
How do you hide yourself in a sentence that isn't about you?
And did you know that the future doesn't exist in English, and we have no way of expressing the future?
Let's take a look at the world of philosophical grammar and discover imposters, impossibilities and Schrödinger's adjective, whatever that is ...
... or isn't.
