Використання лексики
(лексична наповнюваність; володіння лексичним матеріалом)
• Madlibs
Madlibs is a fun activity you can use to extend learners’
vocabulary and also heighten their awareness of parts of
speech and syntax. First elicit lists of different types of
parts of speech such as nouns, adjectives, verbs and
adverbs. Take some words out of a short text and number
and categorise the gaps in the text, for example 1 = noun, 2
= adjective, 3 = verb, etc. or you may need to be more
specific and say what kind of noun or adjective is
missing, for example 4 = body part (plural), 5 = colour.
Making synonyms/antonyms page
Encourage your learners to keep a
synonyms/antonyms page in their
notebooks and to add to it regularly. For
example, adjectives of personality could
be recorded as opposites to help learners
remember the meaning:
generous - mean
sociable - shy
talkative - quiet
hardworking - lazy
