DiScoro skriver om inquiry-basert læring, om nettressurser som kan bli brukt i undervisningen, og om hvordan en kan framheve høyere-ordens kunnskaper. Vi har stor fokus på realfag og bruk av teknologi.
Denne gangen skriver vi om en App som kan være nyttig for studenter som lærer engelsk som sitt andre språk.
The App The Phrasal Verbs Machine (Cambridge University Press) enables non-native speakers to learn and train the use of Phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs are two part verbs. They consist of a verb + an article and or preposition. The article/preposition often changes the meaning of the verb. Read more on the Brititsh Council website and on wikipedia.
The latest version supports 7 different languages, which means that the phrase is translated and the explanation is given in that particular language. However, no scandinavian language is supported yet.
The App has a strong visual component with a short animation showing the meaning of the phrasal verb. A disadvantage is that more advanced students of the English language will quickly master all the 100 phrasal verbs.
Examples:
- run into
- look after
- dress down
- hand in
- look forward to
