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 33 - Reported Speech, True Love and Why Lawyers Speak Trashy English
Have you ever walked away from an English lesson saying, “What?! How?! Why does this language have to be so complicated?!”
If you’ve felt like this, you’ve either just walked out of a lesson on reported speech, or you were in the Arabic class by mistake. (Don’t do that again.)
But if you're getting frustrated with reported speech and all its stupid rules, there's some good news:
It doesn't have to be this way.
In this podcast episode, we look at more common, more natural alternatives to reported speech.
We also ask why English learners and English teachers can be so obsessed with "good English" and "correct English" and "proper English," why lawyers speak trashy English, and why the English we think we speak isn't the English we really speak.
