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 45 - The Wizard of Oz, Ingroups and Outgroups, and How Language Reveals What We Really Think
Have you ever really thought about how some words you use to describe others are a bit ... rude?
Have you ever noticed the words you use to describe groups of people you don't like?
Have you ever noticed that the word for Germany in your language is different from the word Germans use?
Have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz?
And what's up with Chavs?
In this episode I explore the world of exonyms and endonyms.
We look at how language, and these language features in particular, reveals our nasty, tribal side. The side that makes us see ourselves us superior and our neighbours as inhuman.
We see how words can be used to create enemies.
And why "Paris" is pronounced oddly.
