Courseware

Hello Everyone!


Our teammates are still working on our group courseware project.

Seems we are focusing on Idioms for tertiary level students, it is suitable for level of learners (18-23 years old). We are preparing suitable dialogue using idioms and let the learners identify the idioms in a sentence and rearrange the sentence. It is a fun activity because it will encourage the learners to acknowledge the beauty of idioms. Learners should know that some writers use idioms to “add color” to their writing or speaking. This is because an idiom can be used as an artistic expression. For example, if you are working on an article related to financial planning you could say: “You should save your money.” Or, you could use an idiom such as “A penny saved is a penny earned.” The idiom livens up the text and prompts readers to think beyond the facts, and about saving money in a different way. By not spending money, you’re really saving money. 

On the other hand, there are few idioms that can take dull writing and make it more impressive while you are speaking too, which used in the right context will serve writers and speakers well. For example, using “add insult to injury” sounds just a bit more impressive than telling someone that they are making a situation worse by their mockery. Instead of telling someone that they have no manners, you can say they have “not a spark of decency.”Are you trying to convey that you agree with someone? Perhaps you could say that you “see eye to eye.”

Trust me, it is easier than you think to incorporate idioms into your writing or speaking. Once you get familiar with common idioms, you’ll discover that you already know many of them.

Don't you think it sounds more classy? 

Stay tuned!💓
