Week 1

The teacher revises the previous lesson and introduces the new topic by explaining what Collocation is and proceeds to give examples of collocations

A collocation is a combination of two or more words that frequently occur together in a natural way within a language. These word pairings sound "right" to native speakers, and using them correctly helps you sound more fluent. Collocations are common in both spoken and written language.

Examples of collocations:

1.   Make a decision (instead of "do a decision")

2.   Heavy rain (instead of "strong rain")

3.   Pay attention (instead of "give attention")

4.   Fast food (instead of "quick food")

5.   Take a break (instead of "do a break")

Learners observe, learn and participate
